Sanding Towers & Drying House -- Kit

The Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Sanding Towers and Drying House kit is essential for adding realism to steam and diesel-era locomotive servicing scenes. Every railroad had its own ideas about sand house construction, so most were built to meet local conditions and seldom followed standard plans. Since diesels also needed sand, these structures remained in service years after the last steamer had been retired. This model fits any busy terminal and includes a unique brick drying house, a large open storage bin, and piping. Both steam and a larger modern-era sanding tower are included to fit your modeling era. The Sanding Towers and Drying House kit is one of a wide variety of Cornerstone HO Scale railroad buildings.
