Every busy rail yard needs a nerve center, and the Walthers Cornerstone Modern Yard Tower kit delivers it in HO Scale. Based on the Plaster Creek Tower at Wyoming Yard in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this is where switching moves are coordinated and paperwork is processed for every train in and out — a perfect finishing touch for yards set anywhere from the 1970s to today. Detailed brick walls and separately applied windows, doors, and details give it a convincingly modern railroad look.
