The Walthers Cornerstone New River Mining Company N Scale kit is a great addition to your model railway. Inspired by 1950s coal mine tipples, many of which are still in use today, this easy - to - build plastic kit is perfect for both late steam and diesel eras. It features a realistic corrugated metal construction with steel supports, separate ladders and stairways. You can load hoppers on three tracks, or replace a track with a road if you're modeling a mine that loads coal trucks. The kit also includes a conveyor with supports that can be used for above or below - ground operations. With separate slack bin, windows, walkway and stairs, it can be used alone at the trackside or as part of a larger coal mine operation. Molded in appropriate colors and clear glazing, it measures 19 x 13.6 x 14.2cm for the main building and 10.7 x 4.1 x 11.1cm for the truck building.

Using this Walthers New River Mining Co. N Scale kit is a breeze. First, carefully take out all the parts from the package. You can start assembling the main building, attaching the steel supports and the realistic corrugated metal panels. Then, add the separate ladders, stairs, windows, and walkway. If you want to load hoppers, set up the tracks as per your layout. Or, if you prefer to model a coal - truck - loading mine, replace one of the tracks with a road. For the conveyor, you can decide whether to run it above or below the ground according to your design. When handling the kit, be gentle to avoid breaking the small parts. Keep the parts in a safe place when not in use. To maintain it, you can use a soft brush to clean the dust off the model. If the colors fade over time, you can use appropriate model paints to touch it up.
