Based on a typical two-track design, the Walthers Cornerstone Wood Coaling Tower will be a focal point in any engine terminal. Towers like this were built in yards at servicing facilities as well as along the mainlines and branchlines to refuel engines on the road. This easy-to-build plastic model features a realistic coal bunker plus detailed chutes and mechanisms. A hopper unloading shed sits along one side for receiving coal. Like the prototype, it can serve two tracks at once, making it an ideal choice for maximizing service in minimum space. Place it in the vicinity of a roundhouse or engine shed, turntable, water tank and sand tower and you'll have a complete engine servicing facility for your railroad. The Wood Coaling Tower could still be standing in a late-steam or early-diesel era scene, a reminder of how things used to be. Based on a typical North American railroad structure Serves two tracks Includes coal delivery shed Loaded with separate details Includes decal signs Molded in appropriate colors  Servicing track centers are 2-1/2" 6.4cm Hoist track is 3-1/2" 8.9cm from centerline of track under the tower.

Take your layout to a new level with the SubTerrain Layout System, which uses rigid, high-density foam products to add grades and upper levels for track or highways on any layout. No power tools are required for assembly or installation. The light-weight and ease of use makes these parts ideal for portable, permanent or display layouts. A variety of special tools, adhesives, road paving materials, fillers and roadbed are available to customize your layout and further simplify construction. Risers are installed wherever track will be laid on curves or straights. The pieces lift the track above the surrounding area, like the subroadbed on the prototype, so it's easy to add low-lying scenery such as a creek or other formations. Risers are offered in 1/2" (12.5cm), 3/4" (1.8cm), 1" (2.5cm), 2" (5cm) or 4" (10cm) heights. (Use the Incline Starters, 785-1412, 1413, 1416, each sold separately, to create varying grades.)
