Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale industries and structures.

Breweries can generate an impressive variety of inbound and outbound railroad traffic. Walthers notes that grains, malt, packaging materials, coal, natural gas, corn syrup, hops, and other supplies can arrive in several types of freight cars, while finished products can leave the brewery for distribution. This variety makes Milwaukee Beer and Ale especially useful as a switching destination and gives modelers opportunities to operate boxcars, covered hoppers, gondolas, tank cars, insulated boxcars, and refrigerator cars around one industry.
