The Walthers Cornerstone Aggregate Bins in HO scale are a great choice for businesses that transport bulk materials via trucks and gondolas. These bins are commonly seen at quarries for loading sand, gravel, coal, and wood chips, at coal - fired power plants for loading fly ash, at casting plants for loading spent casting sand, and at iron - ore dumpers for handling ore fines. Ideal for modeling railcar or truck loading facilities, these aggregate bins and their supports are molded in light gray to mimic the sturdy metal construction of real - world prototypes. Key features include a dual - hopper design, realistic metal supports with footings, and it comes as an easy - to - build plastic kit. The overall dimensions are 4 - 7/8 x 2 - 7/16 x 6 - 1/8 inches (12.3 x 6.1 x 15.5 cm), and the overhead clearance below the bin is 2 - 3/16 inches (5.5 cm).

Using your Walthers 933 - 4090 HO Scale Aggregate Bins is straightforward. First, assemble the easy - to - build plastic kit following the included instructions. Once assembled, place it at a suitable spot in your model railroad or truck loading facility. You can load it with small materials like sand or gravel to mimic real - world operations. When handling the kit, be gentle with the realistic metal supports to avoid bending. To keep your aggregate bins in good condition, clean them occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any color fading or damage to the plastic parts.
