Drop a hardworking trackside industry into your HO scale layout with the Walthers Cornerstone Vulcan Manufacturing Company. The two-story brick plant with clerestory roof, attached boiler house, and tall brick smokestack is a perfect fit for any steam or diesel-era division — equally believable as a steel fabricator, foundry, or heavy machine shop.

Browse our HO Scale Scenery & Buildings and HO Scale Track & Accessories. Features Two-story brick main building with clerestory monitor roof for natural-light interior detail Attached boiler house and tall brick smokestack add visual weight and a real reason for that spur track Roofed craneway shed for an overhead crane (crane sold separately) so loads can transfer to and from rail cars Realistic decals included for wall signs and lettering, ready to drop on right out of the box Fits steam and diesel-era layouts — works for steel fabrication, foundries, or any heavy industry Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand Walthers Cornerstone Item Number 933-3045 Scale HO (1:87) Product Type Kit — Building Condition New Assembly Kit (Requires Assembly) Material Plastic Era Steam and Diesel Main Building 9 x 9-3/8 x 8 in (22.9 x 23.8 x 20.3 cm) Canopy 8-3/8 x 9-1/8 in FAQ Does the kit need glue and paint?Yes. This is an unpainted Cornerstone styrene kit that requires plastic cement for assembly. The molded brick walls take washes and weathering powders well — a base brick color plus a black wash on the smokestack does most of the heavy lifting. How much layout space does it need?The main building footprint is roughly 9 x 9-3/8 inches. Add the canopy and an optional crane track and most modelers plan on a 12 x 14 inch corner of the layout for the full scene. Is the overhead crane included?No. The roofed craneway shed is included, but the actual overhead crane is sold separately. Walthers' Cornerstone craneway accessories drop right in. What industries does this fit?Anything heavy — steel fabrication, foundries, machine shops, boiler works, or general manufacturing. The architecture is generic enough that custom signage and weathering can sell almost any prototype.
