Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Aggregate Bins Kit - 933-4090

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Aggregate Bins Kit - 933-4090 adds a realistic bulk-material loading facility to HO scale quarries, power plants, foundries, mining operations, and other heavy industries. Designed for loading trucks or railroad gondolas, this Cornerstone structure features a dual-hopper design supported by a detailed metal framework with footings. The bins can represent facilities handling sand, gravel, coal, wood chips, fly ash, casting sand, ore fines, and other reclaimable bulk materials. Finished dimensions are 4-7/8 x 2-7/16 x 6-1/8" (12.3 x 6.1 x 15.5cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale industrial facilities and structures.

Aggregate bins provide elevated storage that allows loose materials to be loaded efficiently into vehicles positioned below. Walthers designed 933-4090 for a variety of bulk-material industries, making it especially versatile for layouts where trucks or railroad cars need a realistic loading point. At a quarry, the bins can handle sand or gravel, while the same structure can represent fly ash loading at a coal-fired power plant, spent casting sand at a foundry, or ore fines at a mineral-handling facility.

The compact footprint of 933-4090 makes it easy to incorporate into an existing industrial area or use as the centerpiece of a new bulk-material operation. Position trucks beneath the hoppers to create a highway-served loading facility, or arrange the bins over a suitable track to model loading railroad cars. Conveyors, piles of aggregate, roads, tracks, vehicles, workers, and additional industrial equipment can be added around the structure to develop a larger material-handling scene.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Bulk Material Industry

The Aggregate Bins are a natural addition to Walthers Cornerstone heavy industry scenes where sand, gravel, coal, minerals, and other bulk materials are processed, stored, or shipped. The structure can also be incorporated into Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures to create a rail- or truck-served material-handling business.

Combine the Aggregate Bins with Walthers Cornerstone railroad structures when developing a rail-served loading facility, and use Walthers Cornerstone accessories and details to add equipment, vehicles, loads, and other finishing details around the site.
