Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Prairie Co-Op Elevator Kit - 933-4047

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Prairie Co-Op Elevator Kit - 933-4047 adds a classic small-town grain terminal to HO scale agricultural and railroad scenes. Based on concrete producer elevators in use from 1915 to the present, this Cornerstone kit represents a four-silo facility that receives grain by truck and ships it by rail. Covered hoppers can serve the elevator on modern layouts, while grain-door boxcars make it equally useful for late steam- and classic diesel-era operations. The elevator and unloading shed measure 5-1/8 x 7-1/4 x 12" (13 x 18.4 x 30.4cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures.

Small-town grain elevators are natural railroad customers in agricultural regions, providing a destination for empty freight cars and an origin for loaded grain shipments. Prairie Co-Op Elevator models a concrete facility with four silos, an off-center headhouse, unloading shed, office, truck scale, and loading equipment, allowing both rail and highway activity to be incorporated into the scene.
