The Cornerstone Series Surge Bin and Conveyor Leg kits will look great on any post-1960 layout. The Conveyor Leg is the transport system that moves grain throughout elevator complexes. The kit includes the tall conveyor, plus several ground-level augers for use between bins and conveyors. Grain handling businesses usually have a couple of legs, one for dry and one for wet grain; keep this in mind when building your grain complex. The Surge Bin is fed by a chute from the wet conveyor leg. It then feeds the grain dryer and dry grain moves in an auger to the dry conveyor leg and storage bin. In many locations, a second surge bin, fed by the dry conveyor leg, is used for loading grain trucks.

Prototypes, known as "legs," lift wet and dry grain (a typical operation has two or more, each dedicated to incoming and outbound grain) using an endless bucket conveyor; grain is then gravity-fed to bins through supply piping.

The Head House w/Silos kit includes eight silos, a top head house structure, a truck dock with loading doors and rooftop vent details. It's a great addition to any grain complex and is ideal for use with the Conveyor Leg kit (933-2936, sold separately) for loading covered hoppers and trucks as well as other grain series structures and accessories.

Walthers Freight Office (#933-2953) and Freight House (#933-2954) kits are based on structures that stood on Fowler Street, just south of Milwaukees hometown depot. Their classic American design is similar to buildings in many other cities making both models ideal for use in any city terminal or as part of a large industry.

The depot was a magical place. At train time, everything stopped as local folks went down to watch the varnish come in. The old depot may be gone, but the magic is still there! Today, shiny Amtrak streamliners glide by, and in many areas, daily commuter trains make up much of the trackside action. These modern trains require modern facilities and bringing your layout up-to-date is easy with this kit. It's based on a design first used in the late 1970s, which was adapted for use in several Amtrak-served communities. This detailed model captures the clean lines of the original in a size that's right for the contemporary layout. Full-color Amtrak station signs add the finishing touch.

By the late 1990s, some 93% - about 3-1/2 million miles - of American highways were built with asphalt. The paving work starts at hot mix plants, like Black Gold, where fine aggregates (sand or gravel) are mixed with a binder made from bituminous, an oil by-product. This mixture is heated to 250° to 375° Fahrenheit; too hot and structurally weakening carbon particles form, too cold and it won't compact correctly. (This is why road repairs/building are done in warmer weather, when temperatures remain stable for long periods.) Dump trucks deliver the hot mix to specialized pavers that apply the asphalt mixture at a uniform depth, width, slope and temperature, ready for surfacing and sealing by compactors.
 
Requiring a steady supply of raw materials in bulk (A good paving crew can lay up to 3,000 tons of asphalt in a single shift!), your new hot mix plant will provide plenty of car-loadings on your modern HO Scale railroad.
 
This highly detailed kit is complete with oil tanks, two conveyors, a three-bay mixing bin with conveyor, furnace with ductwork, rotary mixing kiln, piping, double loading silos and colorful decal signs. The kit has also been designed to accept a Seuthe smoke generator (#667-117, sold separately) that adds animation to your finished model.
 
Much of the sand and gravel arrives in 3-bay hoppers, though some roads use Ortner Aggregate Hoppers. These distinctive cars carry money-saving loads of 100 tons and are fitted with special rapid discharge, bottom unloading doors. Walthers cars are available in singles (932-7050 Series) and three-packs (932-37051 Series), which feature four different car numbers for each roadname. The material can be moved at the plant with the Wheel Loader (933-3141). Bituminous is shipped in insulated tank cars to keep it in a fluid state while in transit and during unloading.
 
Loads-in/empties-out operations can be modeled with the Deluxe Glacier Gravel (933-3703) kit, which simulates the rock crusher/washer found at quarries. Rock can be moved here with the Heavy-Duty Wheel Loader (933-3162) and Terex Dump Truck (933-3162).
