Fall 2008 Announcements
Part #: Wal-933-3823 - "Wood" Coaling Tower - Cornerstone Series(R) (Unpainted Plastic Kit)
  • Fits Steam and Transition Era
Coaling towers are an essential part of any steam-era layout. Based on an American prototype, this tower is typical of those found at smaller terminals as well as stations and junctions; similar towers were also found out on the mainline depending on the capacity of the road's tenders. Similar towers, constructed of wood, could be found on most railroads from the late 1800s well into the 1950s and a few survive on tourist and museum lines today.

You can create a complete steam-era servicing facility with this kit and the Modern Roundhouse (Wal-933-3260), which can be expanded up to a full-circle with additional Add-on Stalls (Wal-933-3261); Machine Shop (Wal-933-3264), Sanding Tower and Drying House (Wal-933-3813), Cinder Conveyor (Wal-933-3816), assembled 130' Turntable (Wal-933-2613), and assembled Steel Water Tank (Wal-933-2601).

Part #: Wal-933-3257 - Union Station - Cornerstone Series(R) Plastic Kits
16 x 6 x 5-1/2" 40 x 15 x 16.2cm
For generations of travelers, Union Station was the magical gateway to and from the world. Here is where the journeys of the finest trains on the line started and ended. Where travelers rushed to make their connections. And thousands of commuters began and ended their workday.

Where space was limited in larger towns and cities, two or more railroads would often combine their resources to build and operate major terminal stations. Monuments to the power and success of railroading, they also projected the spirit of the community they served and the promise of excellent service for anyone who traveled by train. Now, Walthers unveils the Union Station, a fitting tribute to the grand terminals that served railroading for over 100 years.

Designed to capture the look and feel of similar prototypes across America, it puts big detail in a small space without overwhelming your layout. All the classic design elements are here, from the tall support columns to the nonworking clock on the roof. Each wall captures the look of cut-stone construction. Separate doors and windows, large skylights, vents decals and more are all included to build a realistic model.

Each Section Measures: 6-1/8 x 1-1/4 x 1-3/8" 15.3 x 3.1 x 3.4cm
From suburban station to busy city terminal, the platform was the first and last stop for every passenger. Tall walkways allowed passengers fast and easy access to and from trains. The hard surface made it easy to wheel baggage and mail carts into place, as well as supplies for the diner or other cars. And since no one liked being too wet or warm, a roof provided some protection from the elements.

As an alternate to costly train sheds, American railroads tried three distinct styles of station platforms including the Busch, Umbrella and Butterfly types. Of these, the Butterfly (so named because of its up-swept, wing-shaped roof) was cheaper to build and eliminated the maintenance headaches of other designs. Providing plenty of ventilation for engine exhaust and just enough protection from the sun and rain for passengers, Butterfly platforms gained widespread popularity early in the 20th century.

Now you can build a detailed terminal scene for your passenger service with this all-new kit. Based on the almost universal Butterfly design, platforms of this type can be found at stations in big cities and outlying suburbs where they have served passengers for many years.

Parts for eight complete platforms (each 6" 15cm long) are provided, and the kit has a modular design so longer platforms can easily be built to fit your space. Optional underground "subway" stair ways, "wooden" walkway crossings between tracks, platform benches, detailed "steel" columns and platform signboards are all included.

Ideal for use with any steam-, transition- or diesel-era layout, the platforms look great alongside Union Station (Wal-933-3257, sold separately) and similar station facilities.

The Roundhouse was a hallmark of steam-era railroading, and some of these classics are still used today. 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. Our authentic North American-style model includes three stalls on 10-degree centers to make the most of your available space like the prototype. And with a modular design, you can add as many stalls as your railroad requires using the Modern Roundhouse Add-On Stalls (933-3261, sold separately). For more realism, interior and exterior brick wall details, fine windows, floor inspection pits and much more are all standard. Locos up to 125 scale feet long fit easily inside and parts for a single 145' long stall are also included.

Though engines started getting bigger early in the 20th century, no one could foresee the monsters that were in regular service by the 1940s. These locos required equally large servicing areas, so some roads simply added and extended a few roundhouse stalls to handle them. This conversion kit adds three full-length stalls to the Modern Roundhouse (933-3260, sold separately). With additional kits, you can expand the basic building to any size your railroad requires.

  6. Download the Engine Facility Planning Article (597 K bytes, PDF format)
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.
 
Based on an Ogle design, the Modern Coaling Tower will be a focal point in any engine terminal. And towers like this were also built on the mainline to refuel engines on the road. The 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. The same sturdy construction that made these towers appealing to railroads also made them hard to get rid of! With its metal parts removed for scrap, the tower could still be standing in a contemporary scene, a reminder of how things used to be.

While most roads had one major backshop, making repairs at outlying terminals was soon shown to be faster and more cost-effective.

This all-new kit matches the design of the Modern Roundhouse (933-3260, sold separately), and can be built as an attached or freestanding building.

These eight-sided towers were a fixture along the Milwaukee Road, and similar designs were used by other railroads. These towers housed a gateman who manually raised and lowered crossing gates to stop traffic when a train was coming. They were elevated so the gateman could see down the tracks over traffic and other low-level obstructions. Elevated towers were usually placed at busy grade crossings where frequent train moves required additional street traffic safeguards.

  1. Unique Brick Design
  2. Stained Glass Transom Decals
  3. Authentic Design & Detail
  4. Rock Island Prototype
Railroads went to great lengths to provide important towns with a proper depot that projected a positive image of the community and their company. Larger and busier towns, or those served by more than one railroad, typically received fancier structures with more elaborate trim and attention to detail. While most were built of wood, brick was sometimes chosen for its appearance, durability and the image of strength it projected. Such was the case with the Rock Island depot at Pella, Iowa. This distinctive design featured brick construction, leaded glass door transoms and a bell roof with flowing lines that gave the structure its unique identity. Today, the structure is on the National Register of Historic Places and houses a museum.

Like the prototype, this model is a unique addition to any small town. The kit captures all the fine detail of the prototype and fits easily on any steam- or diesel-era layout.

  1. All-New Kit
  2. Great for City Scenes
  3. Classic North American Design
  4. Fits Steam & Diesel Era
  5. Build Full or Empty
  6. Detailed Trusses & Steelwork

For over a century, the gas works was a fixture of American cities and towns. Long before natural gas and electricity were common, these facilities generated "coal gas" (a byproduct of coke ovens) to power street lamps, home appliances and industrial machinery.

The signature structure of any gas works, these massive storage tanks 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.

With its intricate detail and easy construction, this model marks the first time an American-prototype gas storage tank is available. A must-have for period city scenes, one or two tanks can be used where space is limited to suggest a larger plant nearby.

Part #: Wal-933-3820 - Through Plate-Girder Bridge - Cornerstone Series(R) Kits
Whether a small stream or a busy highway, railroads have long relied on bridges to carry the right-of-way safely across natural and man-made obstacles. One of the most common railroad bridge designs is the through plate girder. Used for many decades, this design is constructed of several steel sections riveted together to form girders. They're known as through types as the track passes between, rather than on top of the spans. Bridges of this type are typically used to cross short distances of about 30 to 100' 9.1 to 30.4m.
 
This model is typical of railroad bridges found all over North America from the steam era to the present day. The kit can be built either as a single- or a double-track bridge. Each includes parts for two complete spans, but the design makes it easy to combine additional kits (sold separately) to build a longer or wider bridge if needed. The plastic parts are molded in color and feature authentic rivets and other fine details. Easily installed in new or existing layouts, the kit includes complete instructions.

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore.
You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.
