Tichy Train Group 8167 - 3 Coal Bins kit - HO Scale

This is a model of a typical coal bin.  When coal was used as a source of heat these could be found next to most structures including small ones such as crossing shanties that used a pot belly stove to supply heat.  They would be filled from a passing train or truck and buckets of coal would be carried in as needed.  Injection molded in gray styrene 3 pcs
