Chevrolet Caprice Sedan: Dark Red
Launching in the fall of 1976 in response to the early 70s oil crisis and more stringent EPA regulations for emissions and fuel economy standards, Chevrolet’s downsized “B” body line of large cars was one of GM’s most popular line of vehicles right into the 1990s! Available as a 4-door sedan and station wagon plus a 2-door coupe, the Chevy Caprice and Impala kept the same general “box chevy” look from the 1977 through 1990 model years with mostly small detail changes until the revised “bubble” Caprice was made available for the 1991 model year.

First introduced in the late 1970s/early 1980s, this common style of 40’ container was widely used on intermodal trains well into the early 1990s. It featured vertical transitions between the highs and lows of the corrugations and two logo panels on each side. The unique design is very different from modern international containers. The average domestic stack train of that time period contained over 200 containers so this is a must-have container for intermodal modelers.

Sure to be the focal point of any HO Scale engine terminal, this Walthers Cornerstone 110' Motorized Turntable is where steam locomotives, and later diesels, were turned around at the end of their runs. Normally serving a roundhouse, turntables were placed adjoining the roundhouse, servicing tracks and at major terminals, backshops. This 110' turntable is large enough to turn larger locomotives such as a 4-8-4 Northerns and 2-10-2s. It'll look great at your locomotive terminal, at junctions and anywhere else medium-sized steam locomotives must be turned.

It'll look great at smaller terminals, at junctions and anywhere else steam locomotives must be turned. On your layout use the 90' Motorized Turntable as the heart of your servicing facility

The Walthers Cornerstone 3-Stall Modern Roundhouse will be a hallmark of later steam-era railroading on your HO layout. If you model the diesel era you'll also find this kit to be a centerpiece of your servicing facility since some of these classics are still used today for servicing diesels. No matter the weather, workers could easily inspect and service locos under cover. Size was based on the number of engines coming and going in any 24-hour period, with the busiest terminals requiring full-circle roundhouses.

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.

Railroads built large, elaborate stations at more important towns that generated a lot of freight and passenger business for the line. Others, such as the county seat, were of local importance. And in some, competition from other railroads led to the building of a bigger and better station facility.
The focal point of your city scene, this depot is based on a prototype structure at Wausau, Wisconsin, but is typical of larger, fancier stations built throughout the US. In addition to standard features like the agent's bay window and waiting room, this handsome building boasts a covered end platform and an attached baggage room.

These massive storage tanks often dominated the city skyline. These black giants were actually the last stop at the plant, used to store and pressurize the gas before it was fed into underground pipelines to supply customers. Gas was produced at a constant rate, so during the hours when demand was lower and more storage capacity was needed, the tank expanded using telescoping sections called "lifts." To keep these aligned as they rose and fell, they rode on a series of guide rails supported by a spider web of steel trusses on the outside of the tank.
