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.

Does this kit require assembly?
Yes. This is a molded plastic structure kit that assembles with plastic cement (sold separately). It's molded in three colors, so it looks sharp even before painting.
Is it based on a real building?
Yes — the Plaster Creek Tower at Wyoming Yard in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a classic example of the modern yard towers railroads built from the 1970s onward.
Can I customize the signage?
Yes. A decal sheet is included, so you can letter the tower for your own railroad.
What era does it fit?
Any layout set from the 1970s to the present — it pairs perfectly with modern diesel servicing and intermodal scenes.
