Description
Model the vital transition of cargo between railcars and trucks with incredible detail with this Corn Syrup Transfer Facility. Corn syrup is used in baked goods, candies, beverages, canned fruits and vegetables and pharmaceuticals. The liquid is transloaded from tank cars to storage tanks, then into tanker trucks for delivery to industries. Corn syrup benefits from steam heat to help it flow so small boilers are a common feature of sites like this. Trucks pull into the transfer garage to make the transload under cover from the weather. Of course the site manager needs a place to do paperwork and a converted shipping container makes a great office. This kit includes:
- Transfer garage with overhead access doors and loading platform
- Four large storage tanks for syrup containment
- Mobile boiler house for auxiliary services like steam and heat
- Shipping container-style mobile office for site operations
- Intricate piping for unloading railcars into storage tanks or trailers
- Parts molded in ivory, light gray, yellow, tan and gray plastic

midwest customer...
the syrup facility was a nice addition to the walthers line. the only problem i had was the long pipes that run parallel to the track were warped !! even after trying to carefully bend them over time or warm them a bit, they remained warped even after gluing in place... saddening to say the least. walthers needs to step up, especially with todays ultra-modern plastic technology for sure !!!
