Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Plastic Pellet Plant Kit - 933-4145

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Plastic Pellet Plant Kit - 933-4145 adds a large rail-served plastics processing industry to an HO scale industrial district, manufacturing complex, or modern freight railroad. Designed to represent facilities operating from the 1970s to the present, this Cornerstone kit features a substantial brick-and-metal processing building, four tall storage silos, a two-car loading rack with piping, and overhead walkways. Plastic pellets can be shipped by covered hopper, creating a realistic destination for modern freight operations. Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale industries and structures.

Plastic pellet plants process raw or recycled materials into pellets used by manufacturers to produce a wide variety of finished products. At facilities like this, pellets can be stored in vertical silos and moved between railcars, storage tanks, and the processing building using pneumatic compressed-air piping. This creates an interesting operating industry where covered hoppers can be spotted at the loading rack while trucks serve the processing building.

Build an HO Scale Plastic Pellet Processing Facility

The Walthers Cornerstone Plastic Pellet Plant includes the structures and industrial details needed to create a substantial modern rail-served plastics facility:

• Modern plastic pellet processing facility for 1970s-to-present layouts
• Creates a destination for plastic pellet covered hoppers
• Large brick-and-metal processing building
• Truck-loading doors on the main building
• Separate front office doors and windows
• Rooftop air-conditioning units
• Four tall vertical storage silos
• Loading rack with piping for two railroad cars
• Pneumatic compressed-air piping represents movement of pellets between railcars, storage silos, and processing areas
• Overhead walkways connect industrial components
• Decal signs included
• Parts molded in six colors
• Ideal for modern manufacturing and heavy industrial railroad scenes
• Main building measures 15-3/8 x 10-1/2 x 4-1/2" (39 x 26.9 x 11.3cm)
• Silo assembly measures 27-9/16 x 2-3/8 x 8-1/4" (70.03 x 6.03 x 21cm)

The two-car loading rack gives the Plastic Pellet Plant strong operating potential on a modern HO scale railroad. Spot covered hoppers alongside the piping system to represent pellet loading and unloading, then add trucks, workers, forklifts, service roads, utility equipment, and additional industrial details around the processing building. The tall storage silos and overhead piping also create a distinctive vertical element that helps establish the scale of a larger manufacturing district.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Industrial District

The Plastic Pellet Plant is a natural centerpiece for Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures when developing a modern rail-served manufacturing or processing district. Its large processing building and storage facilities also pair naturally with Walthers Cornerstone factories and warehouses to create a larger industrial complex with multiple freight destinations.

Combine the plant with Walthers Cornerstone heavy industry structures to expand a large manufacturing area with specialized processing and storage facilities. Browse HO Scale Walthers Cornerstone buildings for additional structures that can help develop the surrounding industrial district.
