The Walthers Cornerstone Red Wing Milling Co. in N Scale (Part# 933-3212) is a great addition to your model railroad layout. Flour mills have come a long way since the 1800s water - powered ones. This model perfectly captures the look of modern mills in a size that suits most layouts. Mills from the 1950s onwards produce huge amounts of flour and other milled grains. They used to receive grain via boxcars and now use covered hoppers. Outbound flour and meal are transported in Airslide(R) and similar covered hoppers, as well as bulk hopper trucks. The modern concrete Red Wing Milling Co. has truck and rail loading facilities, blowers, vents, separate doors and windows, and eye - catching full - color decal signs. The finished kit measures 6 - 5/8 x 4 - 7/8' (16.5 x 12cm). It's one of many Cornerstone N Scale industrial structures. Key features include: a contemporary trackside industry look, prototypes that handle grain and flour transportation in various ways, exterior dust collectors and fire escape ladders for added detail, a railcar loading canopy, truck loading doors, an easy - to - build plastic kit, and realistic decal signs.

Using the Walthers Cornerstone Red Wing Milling Co. model is a breeze. First, take out all the parts from the plastic kit carefully. Follow the included instructions step by step to assemble the mill. You can start with the main structure and then add the details like doors, windows, blowers, and vents. The decal signs are easy to apply - just follow the placement guide. When it comes to placement on your layout, find a suitable spot near the tracks as it represents a trackside industry. Make sure it fits well with the overall scale of your other models. As for maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent the plastic from warping and the decals from fading. If it gets dusty, use a soft, dry brush to gently clean it. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they may damage the model. And always handle it with care to avoid any parts breaking off.
