Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Superior Paper Rotary Dumper Kit - 933-3903

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Superior Paper Rotary Dumper Kit - 933-3903 adds a specialized bulk-material unloading facility to HO scale paper mills and other heavy industries. Rotary dumpers allow large quantities of raw material to be unloaded quickly by clamping and rotating a railcar so its contents fall into a receiving pit below the tracks. At paper mills such as Superior Paper, this type of equipment can unload woodchip cars for facilities without their own debarking or chipping operation. The kit measures 9-1/2 x 7-1/4" (24.1 x 18.4cm) and requires 2-1/2" (6.4cm) of depth clearance below the layout. Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale industries and structures.

Rotary dumpers aren't limited to paper mills, making 933-3903 a versatile addition to a variety of diesel-era industrial scenes. Steel mills use similar equipment to unload limestone and coal, while power plants use rotary dumpers to handle the large volumes of coal arriving in unit trains. This gives the model plenty of potential as either part of the Superior Paper complex or a custom heavy-industry facility.

• Molded in appropriate base colors
• Kit footprint: 9-1/2 x 7-1/4" (24.1 x 18.4cm)
• Required depth clearance: 2-1/2" (6.4cm)

Use the Rotary Dumper to create a destination for woodchip cars at a paper mill or for bulk-material cars serving another large industry. The below-track receiving area requires clearance beneath the layout, adding another level of realism to the installation. Position conveyors, storage areas, industrial buildings, and additional equipment nearby to represent the movement of unloaded material through the facility.
