The Walthers 3026 HO Scale Cornerstone Flour Mill, Part# 933 - 3026, offers a great addition to your model railroad layout. Since the 1800s water - powered mills, flour mills have transformed significantly. The Red Wing Milling Co. from Walthers Cornerstone perfectly captures the modern look and feel, sized to fit most layouts. Mills from the 1950s onwards produce huge amounts of flour and milled grains. They initially received grain via boxcars and now use covered hoppers. Outbound flour and meal are transported in Airslide(R) and similar covered hoppers, as well as bulk hopper trucks. This modern concrete Red Wing Milling Co. comes with truck and rail loading facilities, blowers, vents, separate doors and windows, and eye - catching full - color decal signs. The finished kit measures 8 x 11 x 10 - 3/8 inches (20 x 27.5 x 26.5 cm). It's one of the many great Cornerstone industrial buildings. Key features include being a contemporary trackside industry, having prototypes that receive grain in covered hoppers or boxcars and ship flour in various ways, exterior dust collectors, fire escape ladders, a railcar loading canopy, truck loading doors, being an easy - to - build plastic kit, and having realistic decal signs.

Using your Walthers 3026 HO Scale Cornerstone Flour Mill is easy. First, carefully unpack all the parts from the plastic kit. Start by assembling the main structure following the included instructions. It's designed to be simple to build, so don't worry if you're new to model building. Once assembled, you can place it on your model railroad layout. Make sure the area is flat and stable. For maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors of the decal signs from fading. If it gets dusty, you can use a soft brush to gently clean it. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the plastic. When handling the mill, be careful around the small details like the dust collectors and fire escape ladders to prevent breakage.
