The completed facility measures 14-1/2 x 9-5/8 x 11" (36.8 x 24.4 x 27.9cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale industries and structures.

Rail-to-road aggregate transfer facilities provide excellent operating potential by creating a destination for railcars carrying bulk materials. Prototypes can handle sand, road salt, fertilizer, and other granular products, allowing the facility to support several types of modern industrial scenes. Incoming material is unloaded from railcars, moved by conveyor to the storage silos, and then transferred into trucks for delivery to local customers.
