Walthers Cornerstone SeriesĀ®

 

 N Scale 

 

As larger engines entered service, many railroads found their older coaling towers couldn't handle the increased demand. By the 1920s, railroads began contracting with outside firms to build new coaling towers. Concrete was the material of choice as it was easy to use, affordable, fireproof and weatherproof.

Based on an Ogle design, the Modern Coaling Tower will be a focal point in any engine terminal. Towers like this were also built on the mainline to refuel engines on the road.

Features:

  • Molded in two colors and clear plastic
  • Accepts Code 55 or 80 rail
  • Ideal for steam-era layouts
  • Includes a realistic "concrete" wall design, three locomotive fueling tracks, one inbound elevated coal dump track, six detailed chutes with rigging and realistic decals

Dimensions - 5" x 5 1/4" x 7 1/4".
