Sure to be the focal point of any HO Scale engine terminal, this Walthers Cornerstone 90' Motorized Turntable is where steam locomotives, and later diesels, were turned around at the end of their runs. Normally serving a roundhouse, most smaller turntables were placed adjoining the roundhouse and servicing tracks. This 90' turntable is large enough to turn typical locomotives as large as a 2-8-2 Mikado or 4-6-2 Pacific. It'll look great at smaller terminals, at junctions and anywhere else steam locomotives must be turned.

The Walthers Cornerstone Operating Single-Track Railroad Bascule Bridge is based on one of the most popular designs with railroad engineers. There's always plenty of action wherever railways meet waterways. Here, you can often find lift bridges, designed to move up to provide clearance for passing ships. Hinged at one end, the bascule design opens like a jacknife. It requires less space, has fewer moving parts and can be partially opened to clear vessels of any size. It can also be raised and lowered quickly, making it the ideal choice for busy rail lines.

Skoal! Prost! Salut! No matter how you say it, the handsome Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Milwaukee Beer and Ale Brewery building will be the toast of your railroad. Many started as small, local suppliers, eventually growing into huge operations, thanks to the railroads. In every era, these facilities require an amazing variety of freight cars. Boxcars and hoppers bring in grains and malt, as well as empty barrels, bottles, bottle caps or cans. Hoppers haul in coal and one or two may depart with loads of broken glass. Gondolas haul scrap aluminum. Tank cars arrive with natural gas, or corn syrup, while others carry beer in bulk. Insulated boxcars and reefers bring in hops, then haul the finished products to market.

As larger engines entered service, many railroads found their older coaling towers couldn't handle the increased demand. By the 1920s, railroads began contracting with outside firms to build new coaling towers. Concrete was the material of choice as it was easy to use, affordable, fireproof and weatherproof. Towers like this were built in yards at servicing facilities as well as along the mainline to refuel engines on the road. This plastic model features realistic concrete walls plus detailed chutes and mechanisms. Like the prototype, it can serve three tracks at once, making it an ideal choice for maximizing service in minimum space.

All through the day and night, a steady parade of gondolas, ancient hoppers, ore jennies, even a stock car or two rumbled into the yards. Seldom used branches and sidings groaned under the weight of cars piled high with sugar beets of another campaign (harvest). All across the line, extras rushed the crop to the refinery where the beets were processed into refined sugar. Sugar mills were among the most interesting - and busiest - of all the industries found alongside railroads.

These big barges feature a flat deck with up to three sets of tracks, allowing for quick movement of virtually any rail car over water. These "floating rail yards" were especially common in big city harbors and on many inland rivers, in many cases providing the only rail connection to the main line. Since they were unpowered, they required the services of a railroad tug to move them from point to point. The basic design was used for decades, so many steam-era veterans lasted until the end of operations on most lines and several still operated into the 21st Century.
