Enhance various industries with the Walthers 933 - 2955 Cornerstone Support Trusses for HO scale. These photo - etched kits are perfect for customizing setups that use overhead pipes to transport dry, bulk materials. You can spot their real - life counterparts at grain elevators and similar places, where they prevent supply pipes from bending under load. Each truss is made of photo - etched brass for near - scale thickness. It can hold 0.08' (2mm) outside diameter styrene or metal tubing (sold separately) to mimic piping and 15 - pound monofilament fishing line (sold separately) to imitate guywires. This is part of a great series of Cornerstone photo - etched details. Learn more now!

Using these support trusses is easy. First, grab your 0.08' (2mm) outside diameter styrene or metal tubing and 15 - pound monofilament fishing line, which you'll need to buy separately. Insert the tubing into the cored parts of the truss to represent the pipes. Then, attach the fishing line to simulate the guywires. As you're working, be careful with the photo - etched brass parts; they're thin and delicate. When you're not using the trusses, store them in a dry place to avoid rust or damage. If you notice any dirt on the parts, you can gently clean them with a soft brush. Have fun customizing your setup with these great trusses!
