Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Scrap Yard Conveyor Kit - 933-3645

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Scrap Yard Conveyor Kit - 933-3645 adds an important material-handling component to an HO scale scrap yard, metal recycling facility, or heavy industrial scene. Based on conveyors used to move processed scrap metal, this Cornerstone kit can transfer cut scrap from a ferrous shear or bales from a baler-logger into trucks or railroad gondolas for shipment. The finished conveyor measures 9-1/4 x 1-3/4 x 3-3/8" (23.4 x 4.4 x 8.5cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and industrial details.

Scrap-processing conveyors provide a logical connection between processing equipment and outbound transportation. Processed metal can be moved directly into a gondola or truck, or conveyed into a storage pile where it can later be handled by an electromagnetic or grapple-type crane. This gives the Scrap Yard Conveyor a natural role in an operating industrial scene with incoming scrap, processing equipment, storage areas, and outbound rail shipments.

Build an HO Scale Scrap Yard and Metal Recycling Facility

The Walthers Cornerstone Scrap Yard Conveyor is designed as a realistic addition to industries that process and ship scrap metal:

• HO scale scrap-processing conveyor kit
• Designed for scrap yards and industries handling scrap steel
• Moves cut scrap metal from a ferrous shear
• Can handle bales produced by a baler-logger
• Allows processed scrap to be loaded into trucks or railroad gondolas
• Can also be used to create scrap storage piles for later loading
• Concrete base with steel support structure
• Designed as an accessory for Walthers Cornerstone Washington Salvage Scrap Yard scenes
• Useful with other industries that process scrap metals
• Easy-to-build plastic kit
• Molded in an appropriate base color
• Finished size of 9-1/4 x 1-3/4 x 3-3/8" (23.4 x 4.4 x 8.5cm)

The conveyor can become part of a complete sequence of modeled scrap-processing operations. Position it near a ferrous shear or baler-logger and arrange a truck-loading area, gondola track, or scrap pile at the discharge end. This creates a believable reason for gondolas and other freight equipment to be switched at the facility while adding another layer of industrial activity to the layout.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Scrap Yard

The Scrap Yard Conveyor fits naturally with Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures when developing a rail-served recycling facility or metal-processing industry. It also works well alongside structures and equipment from the Walthers Cornerstone heavy industry collection when building larger steel, manufacturing, or scrap-processing scenes.
