Walthers Cornerstone N Scale Ice House & Icing Platform Kit - 933-3245

Walthers Cornerstone N Scale Ice House & Icing Platform Kit - 933-3245 adds an important refrigerator-car servicing facility to N scale steam- and transition-era railroad scenes. Before mechanical refrigeration became common, railroads used ice houses and trackside icing platforms to supply refrigerator cars with the ice needed to keep perishable shipments cold in transit. This Walthers Cornerstone kit combines the ice house and elevated platform into a complete rail-served facility with an overall footprint of 9-7/8 x 3-3/4" (25 x 9.5cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional N scale railroad facilities.

An icing facility creates a natural destination for refrigerator cars carrying produce, meat, dairy products, and other temperature-sensitive freight. The elevated platform allows workers to reach the rooftop ice hatches on reefers spotted alongside the structure, making the facility an excellent addition to layouts featuring classic freight operations.
