Based on an Ogle design, this concrete tower became a focal point in engine terminals as larger engines outgrew older facilities. By the 1920s many railroads contracted outside firms to build new towers from concrete, a material that was affordable, fireproof and weatherproof, placing them in yards and along the mainline to refuel engines on the road.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe plastic 933-2903 features realistic concrete walls plus detailed chutes and mechanisms, and like the prototype it can serve three tracks at once for maximum service in minimum space. A coal delivery shed and decal signs are included, and because these sturdy towers were hard to demolish, the model can even stand as a scrapped relic in a contemporary scene. The tower measures 8-5\/8 x 8-3\/4 x 12-1\/4\" 21.5 x 21.8 x 30.6cm, with a dumphouse of 8-5\/8 x 1-3\/8 x 1-3\/8\" 21.5 x 3.4 x 3.4cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features:\u003cbr\u003e- HO Scale (1:87) railroad structure kit, requires assembly\u003cbr\u003e- Item 933-2903 from Walthers Cornerstone\u003cbr\u003e- Based on an Ogle design typical of North American practice\u003cbr\u003e- Realistic concrete walls with detailed chutes and mechanisms\u003cbr\u003e- Serves three tracks at once\u003cbr\u003e- Includes a coal delivery shed and decal signs\u003cbr\u003e- Tower measures 8-5\/8 x 8-3\/4 x 12-1\/4\"; dumphouse 8-5\/8 x 1-3\/8 x 1-3\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e- Molded in appropriate colors","brand":"Black Forest® Hobby Supply Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929168052499,"sku":"933-2903","price":67.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1312\/8979\/files\/0e1b50ef-1dfa-55f2-a805-dff490e98c89.jpg?v=1793723322","url":"https:\/\/www.scfoundry.shop\/products\/walthers-cornerstone-933-2903-ho-modern-coaling-tower-kit","provider":"S\u0026C Foundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
