The Walthers Cornerstone Goldenflame Fuel Co. model kit, in HO scale (Part#933 - 3087), brings to life the coal and oil dealerships well - known in towns from the 1920s to the 1960s. These businesses, often found beside mainlines and sidings, sold coal for home heating in bags or tons and even made home deliveries. They also served commercial accounts like small factories and stores. As oil furnaces became popular, many added home heating oil to their offerings. This kit looks amazing next to the tracks of your HO Scale railroad, whether it's a big - city scene or a quiet country town. It comes with detailed concrete storage silos, a small office with an attached scale platform area, oil tanks, a truck filling rack, a coal conveyor, a hopper unloader, and fencing to create a complete scene. Just like the real - life prototypes, the buildings can be easily arranged to fit odd - shaped spaces. It can be built as a free - standing business, and it also opens up industrial ideas when combined with other Cornerstone kits and accessories. The kit features a realistic wooden office and scalehouse, three concrete silos with a headhouse, two steel storage tanks with a pump house, decal signs, and is molded in appropriate colors. Dimensions include: Scalehouse/Office: 4 - 3/4 x 2 - 7/8 x 2 - 1/8' (11.8 x 7.1 x 5.3cm), Storage Bins: 8 - 7/8 x 3 - 1/2 x 7 - 3/8' (22.1 x 8.7 x 10.9cm), Oil Tanks (2): 1 - 5/16' Diameter x 3 - 5/8' (3.3cm Diameter x 9.2cm), Pump House: 1 - 1/4 x 1 x 1 - 3/8' (3.2 x 2.5 x 3.5cm).
