Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional N scale industrial and railroad structures.

Transload facilities allow businesses without their own direct rail service to take advantage of economical long-distance railroad transportation. Freight can arrive by rail and be transferred to trucks for local delivery, or move in the opposite direction for shipment to distant customers. The Modern Lumber Transload provides a realistic destination for freight cars while its lumber storage sheds and paved work areas create plenty of opportunities for adding trucks, forklifts, workers, and other activity to a contemporary N scale industrial scene.
