Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Brickworks Kit - 933-4102

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Brickworks Kit - 933-4102 brings a classic brick manufacturing industry to HO scale railroad layouts. Designed as the heart of the Walthers Cornerstone Brickworks Series, this detailed industrial structure represents the main facility where clay was processed, mixed, and molded before bricks and similar products moved on to firing and shipping. Typical of brickmaking facilities operating from the 1880s through the 1990s, the Brickworks fits both steam- and diesel-era layouts and provides a substantial trackside industry for freight operations. Finished dimensions are 12-3/4 x 6-1/2 x 7" (31.8 x 16.2 x 17.5cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale industries and structures.

Brickmaking was an important industry that generated both inbound and outbound traffic for railroads. Raw materials such as clay could arrive for processing, while finished bricks and other products were shipped to customers and construction markets. Adding a brickworks to an HO scale railroad therefore creates more than an impressive industrial scene—it provides a logical destination for freight cars and opportunities to model the movement of materials through a complete manufacturing operation.
