Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Truck Dump Kit - 933-4058

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Truck Dump Kit - 933-4058 adds a compact bulk-material transfer facility to HO scale railroad layouts. Based on trackside loaders used from the 1970s to the present, this Cornerstone structure models an operation where coal, stone, and other bulk materials are delivered by truck and transferred to railroad hopper cars. Its space-saving design makes it useful as a stand-alone industry or as part of a larger quarry, mining, aggregate, or bulk-material operation. Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale industries and structures.

Truck-to-rail transfer facilities provide a practical way to represent industries located beyond the modeled portion of a railroad. Trucks can bring bulk commodities from nearby mines, quarries, or other sources to the trackside dump, where the material is transferred into railcars for shipment. This creates a natural destination for hopper cars while adding truck traffic and another freight operation to the layout.

Build an HO Scale Truck-to-Rail Bulk Transfer Facility

The Walthers Cornerstone Truck Dump combines a compact footprint with the equipment needed to model bulk materials moving from highway trucks to railroad cars:

• HO scale Truck Dump plastic structure kit
• Walthers Cornerstone product number 933-4058
• Authentic trackside industry that fits many layout settings
• Typical of loaders used from the 1970s to the present
• Designed to move coal, stone, and other bulk materials from road to rail
• Positionable hopper loading conveyor
• Detailed truck ramp
• Detailed dump house
• Conveyor equipment included
• Car puller detail included
• Components can be arranged to fit new or existing scenery
• Parts molded in two colors

The Truck Dump creates useful operating potential without requiring a massive industrial complex. Trucks can arrive with bulk material while empty hopper cars are spotted for loading, providing a reason for regular switching at the facility. The positionable hopper-loading conveyor and separate components also provide flexibility when fitting the structure into an existing industrial area.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Bulk-Material Industry

Combine the Truck Dump with Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures to create a larger aggregate, mining, or bulk-material operation. It can also complement Walthers Cornerstone heavy industry structures where coal, stone, and other bulk commodities are handled by rail.

The compact facility also works well with Walthers Cornerstone trackside structures when building a smaller rail-served industry. Add conveyors, utility equipment, fencing, vehicles, and other finishing touches with Walthers Cornerstone accessories and details.
