Walthers Cornerstone 933-4035 HO Glacier Industrial Sands Kit

The Walthers Cornerstone 933-4035 HO scale Glacier Industrial Sands kit models one of the newest industries along the rails. Sand has been used for centuries in building materials, glass and castings, and it also turns up in paint, fertilizer and plastics, while fracturing sand for oil and gas fields has become a hot commodity that railroads haul long distances from producer to user.

This contemporary trackside facility transfers sand and other aggregates from trucks into covered hoppers and works well as a stand-alone industry or part of a larger operation. The 933-4035 includes a railcar loading area with a safety harness beam, two conveyors, a truck fuel tank, a main office and guard shack, a mixing bin with piping and double loading silos, plus printed company and safety signs. The silos measure 5-1/2 x 4 x 11-3/8" (13.9 x 10.1 x 28.8cm).
