Modern intermodal and classification yards depend on constant movement between trains, trucks, trailers, containers, and railroad maintenance vehicles. Railroads use lightweight all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) for many jobs around these facilities, requiring purpose-built crossings where the vehicles travel over active tracks. Solar-powered switch controllers are another contemporary railroad feature, providing powered turnout operation in locations where installing and maintaining a conventional electrical supply may be impractical.

Add Modern HO Scale Intermodal Yard Details

The Walthers Cornerstone Intermodal Yard Details kit provides two distinctive types of railroad equipment for adding more prototype character to contemporary HO scale terminals and yards:

• HO scale Intermodal Yard Details plastic kit
• Walthers Cornerstone product number 933-4124
• Designed for contemporary intermodal terminals and classification yards
• Solar-powered switch controllers can also be used at remote locations along main and branch lines
• Includes four straight ATV/UTV track crossings
• Includes two left-angle ATV/UTV track crossings
• Includes two right-angle ATV/UTV track crossings
• Includes eight nonoperating solar-powered switch controllers
• Switch controller target indicators can be positioned for through or diverging routes
• Solar collectors can be positioned to represent prototype installations
• Crossings represent a scale 10' (3m) width
• Each crossing measures 1-5/8" (4.2cm) actual length measured at a right angle to the track
• Switch controllers measure 3/64 x 63/64 x 1-1/4" (1.5 x 2.5 x 3.2cm)
• Designed for use with most popular brands of HO scale track
• Complete illustrated instructions included
• Parts molded in brown plastic

The included crossings are particularly useful for developing a busy intermodal or classification yard where railroad crews use ATVs and UTVs to move between work areas. Straight and angled configurations allow the crossings to fit different track arrangements, while the solar-powered switch controllers add a recognizable modern detail alongside turnouts. The controllers can also be placed away from major yards to represent installations at remote switches along main or branch line tracks.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Intermodal Yard

The Intermodal Yard Details kit works naturally with Walthers Cornerstone railroad structures when developing contemporary terminals, classification yards, and other railroad facilities. The small components provide useful foreground details around tracks and turnouts without requiring additional large structures.

Combine the kit with Walthers Cornerstone trackside structures and additional Walthers Cornerstone accessories and details to build a more complete railroad scene.
