Description
Kit - 5-5/8 x 6-5/8 x 6-1/8" 14.3 x 16.8 x 15.6cm
Add aggregate traffic to your layout with this rugged trackside structure. The Walthers Cornerstone Glacier Gravel Co. is a model of a stone crusher-washer with equipment for loading rail cars or trucks. Railroads have an enormous appetite for crushed rock. A mile of mainline can gobble up thousands of tons. Glacier Gravel Co. will help satisfy your railroads appetite for rock. This easy-to-build kit looks great as part of a stone quarry operation, alongside mines like the New River Mining Co. 933-3221 and Coal Flood Loader 933-3247, in a mine, or as part of a slag recovery operation down the track from the steel mill buildings. Detailed parts capture the look of concrete and steel construction. The kit features corrugated construction on a heavy poured concrete foundation/loading tunnel. Conveyors to a truck dump and feeder from the quarry complete the facility. Rock crushers similar to this have been in use since the 1940s, so Glacier Gravel Co. will fit perfectly into transition and modern era layouts. The main building can accommodate two tracks inside and includes a detailed loading bin. Glacier Gravel Co. also includes decal signs and complete instructions. Glacier Gravel Co. is just one of a wide variety of Cornerstone N Scale industrial buildings. The finished model measures: 5-5/8 x 6-5/8 x 6-1/8" 14.3 x 16.8 x 15.6cm

Good quality kit
I recently purchased this kit to be used on my N-scale switching layout. The parts are all well-labeled and there's very little flashing to be removed. The instructions are relatively clear with a few diagram issues that can be cleared up with dry-fitting. Fitting of the parts is good with no modifications or extra sanding involved. The model is quite tall and adds a good deal of complexity to the layout.

Building
Started working on this building. There is no flash and is very clean. It is going together well.
