The Walthers 933 - 3262 Cornerstone Modern Coaling Tower is a remarkable model kit. Measuring 5 x 5 - 1/4 x 7 - 1/4 feet (12.7 x 13.3 x 18.4 cm), it features an authentic concrete design. This coaling tower can serve three tracks simultaneously and comes with a coal delivery shed. It's loaded with separate details and includes decal signs. As larger engines came into service, older coaling towers couldn't meet the demand. In the 1920s, railroads started building new ones, often choosing concrete for its ease - of - use, affordability, fireproof, and weatherproof properties. Based on an Ogle design, this modern coaling tower will be the centerpiece of any engine terminal. It was also built on the mainline to refuel engines. The model has realistic 'concrete' walls, detailed chutes, and mechanisms. Just like the real thing, it can serve three tracks at once, making it perfect for saving space. Even after removing the metal parts for scrap, it can still stand as a reminder of the past in a contemporary scene.

Using this coaling tower model is easy. First, unpack all the parts carefully. Then, follow the included instructions to assemble the tower piece by piece. You can use glue to secure the parts together. When it comes to placement, you can put it in an engine terminal or on the mainline of your railroad layout. As for maintenance, keep it away from moisture to prevent any damage to the 'concrete' walls. If there are any dust or dirt on the model, use a soft brush to gently clean it. Be careful when handling the detailed chutes and mechanisms to avoid breaking them. Also, don't expose the model to direct sunlight for a long time as it may cause color fading.
