Walthers Cornerstone 933-3049 HO Icehouse and Platform Kit

Relive the era of iced reefers with the Walthers Cornerstone 933-3049 Icehouse and Platform in HO scale. From the 1880s to the 1970s, ice-cooled refrigerator cars carried meat and produce to market, and railroads built ice houses and platforms roughly every 250 to 300 miles so entire trains could be re-iced and back on the move in minutes. This kit recreates that busy, time-critical operation for your layout.

Item 933-3049 includes a detailed icehouse based on a prototype in Antigo, Wisconsin, plus a modular icing platform patterned on a Pacific Fruit Express design. Add-on details include an optional platform roof for shading ice in warm areas, roof vents, and 24 ice blocks, with parts molded in color and complete instructions provided. The completed model with platform measures 18-1/2 x 6-1/4" (46.9 x 15.8cm), while the icehouse alone measures 4-3/4 x 10-3/4 x 5" (12 x 27.3 x 12.7cm).
