The prototypes for Walthers Cornerstone State Line Farm Supply offer farm implements, repair services and more. During the steam era, many of these businesses received machinery by rail in boxcars or on flatcars; the pieces were usually unloaded at a nearby trackside ramp.

This versatile barrel-roofed building features a detailed, decorative brick facade and garage doors - perfect for any auto or equipment dealer needing work space. Also included are a trackside unloading ramp and oil and fuel tanks.

The N Scale Walthers Cornerstone Central Gas and Supply kit is a great trackside business for every 1960s and later layout. Propane distribution facilities are common throughout the country, receiving bulk shipments by rail and truck.

Based on an Ogle design, the Walthers Cornerstone Modern Coaling Tower will be a focal point in any engine terminal. As larger engines entered service, many railroads found their older coaling towers couldn't handle the increased demand. By the 1920s, railroads began contracting with outside firms to build new coaling towers. Concrete was the material of choice as it was easy to use, affordable, fireproof and weatherproof. Towers like this were built in yards at servicing facilities as well as along the mainline to refuel engines on the road. This plastic model features realistic concrete walls plus detailed chutes and mechanisms. Like the prototype, it can serve three tracks at once, making it an ideal choice for maximizing service in minimum space. The same sturdy construction that made these towers appealing to railroads also made them hard to demolish. With its metal parts removed for scrap, the Modern Coaling Tower could still be standing in a contemporary scene, a reminder of how things used to be. Based on a typical North American railroad structure Serves three tracks Includes coal delivery shed Loaded with separate details Includes decals signs Molded in appropriate colors  Measures: Tower: 8-5/8 x 8-3/4 x 12-1/4" or 21.5 x 21.8 x 30.6cm Dumphouse: 8-5/8 x 1-3/8 x 1-3/8" or 21.5 x 3.4 x 3.4cm
