The HO Scale Walthers Cornerstone Central Gas and Supply kit is an ideal addition for 1960s and later model railroad layouts. Propane distribution is widespread across the country, with bulk shipments arriving by rail and truck. This kit features two detailed propane tanks, a modern metal office, a pumphouse with piping, smaller tanks and bottles, and colorful decals. It's an easy - to - build plastic kit, perfect for enhancing grain facilities and other rail - served industries. The propane in the model can be thought of as being converted into a liquid and stored in insulated, cylindrical tanks, just like in real - life. It's commonly used for home and industrial heating, and as fuel for vehicles. Similar facilities can be found near railroad shops, grain elevators, and various industries. You can even model anhydrous ammonia storage by simply shortening the two vent pipes. Shipments come in LPG gas tank cars, similar to those used for anhydrous ammonia fertilizer. The kit includes an office, two storage tanks, pump houses, and smaller items typical of rural homes. Office size: 3 - 3/8 x 4 - 3/8' (8.5 x 11.1cm). Tanks size: 1 - 1/2 x 9' (3.8 x 22.8cm).

Using this Walthers Central Gas & Supply kit is a breeze. First, take out all the parts from the box and lay them out. Start with assembling the modern metal office. It's pretty straightforward, just follow the simple instructions. Then, put together the two detailed propane tanks and attach the pump house and piping. The smaller tanks and bottles can be placed around the main area to make it look more realistic. You can use the colorful decals to add a personal touch to the buildings and tanks. When placing it on your model railroad layout, find a good spot near grain facilities or other rail - served industries. As for maintenance, keep it away from excessive dust and humidity. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they might damage the plastic parts. When handling the kit, be careful with the small parts to prevent them from getting lost.
