Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Lakefront Energy Power Plant with Dust Collector Kit - 933-4172

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Lakefront Energy Power Plant with Dust Collector Kit - 933-4172 creates a major coal-fired power generation industry for an HO scale model railroad. Designed to represent modernized power plants in service from the 1970s to the present, this substantial structure combines the main generating building with a baghouse-style dust collector and high-efficiency exhaust stack. The finished model measures 28-1/2 x 7-13/16 x 17-7/8" (72.3 x 19.8 x 45.3cm), with the height measured at the stack. Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures.

The Lakefront Energy Power Plant provides a large industrial destination for unit coal trains and helps establish the purpose of heavy freight traffic on a modern railroad. Its tall exhaust stack, main plant building, and dust-collection equipment create a recognizable power-generation complex that can become a dominant industrial feature on the layout. Despite its substantial appearance, the structure is designed with a long, relatively narrow footprint that can work alongside railroad tracks and supporting power-generation facilities.

Build a Modern HO Scale Coal Power Plant

The Walthers Cornerstone Lakefront Energy Power Plant includes key components for creating a modernized coal-fired generating facility:

• Main power plant building
• Baghouse-style dust collector
• High-efficiency exhaust stack
• Typical of modernized power plants from the 1970s to the present
• Designed as a destination for unit coal trains
• Parts molded in three colors plus clear plastic
• Designed to coordinate with additional Walthers Cornerstone power plant structures
• Finished size of 28-1/2 x 7-13/16 x 17-7/8" (72.3 x 19.8 x 45.3cm), with height measured at the stack

The power plant can serve as the centerpiece of a larger coal-handling operation. Incoming coal trains can be incorporated into an operating scheme using additional structures such as a rotary dumper and conveyor system, while substations and transmission equipment can represent the electrical distribution side of the facility. This gives modelers opportunities to develop an interconnected heavy-industry scene rather than using the plant as a standalone structure.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Power Industry

Lakefront Energy Power Plant fits naturally with Walthers Cornerstone heavy industry when developing a large coal, utility, or manufacturing district. Supporting structures can help establish the flow of coal from railroad delivery through unloading and conveying to the generating plant.
