Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Transload Facility Safety System Kit - 933-4185

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Transload Facility Safety System Kit - 933-4185 adds an important modern safety structure to HO scale transload terminals and rail-served industrial facilities. Designed to protect personnel working on top of freight cars, the system represents the overhead fall-protection equipment found at modern transload operations across the country. The assembled structure measures 3-1/4 x 19-13/16 x 2-13/16" (8.3 x 50.3 x 7.1cm), providing enough length to create a substantial loading or unloading scene alongside a freight track. Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures.

On prototype facilities, workers wear a safety harness and attach a safety line to a slider running along the overhead rail before working on top of freight cars. This Cornerstone kit recreates that specialized equipment with structural steel-style columns, overhead rails, and foundation components. Rather than functioning as a conventional building, the Safety System adds operational context to tank car, covered hopper, and other transload scenes where personnel may need access to the tops of freight cars.

Build a Modern HO Scale Transload Facility

The Walthers Cornerstone Transload Facility Safety System includes several options for adapting the structure to a modern industrial railroad scene:

• Modern-era fall-protection structure for personnel working on top of freight cars
• Overhead rail with sliders for modeled safety-line attachment points
• Two styles of support columns included
• Two types of foundations included
• Designed for use alongside transload facility tracks
• Compatible with other Walthers Cornerstone HO transload structures and accessories
• Finished size of 3-1/4 x 19-13/16 x 2-13/16" (8.3 x 50.3 x 7.1cm)

The two column and foundation styles give modelers options when integrating the Safety System into an existing facility or building a new transload scene. Its long, narrow footprint allows the structure to follow a railroad track while leaving surrounding space available for pavement, transfer equipment, trucks, utility structures, and other components associated with loading and unloading operations.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Transload Scene

The Transload Facility Safety System fits naturally with Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures when developing a modern rail-served facility. It can complement specialized transload models such as the Corn Syrup Transfer Facility, Utility Auger, Boiler House, Transload Pavement, and Mobile Office to create a more complete industrial operation.
