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.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eBased 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eAuthentic Concrete Design \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eServes Three Tracks \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eCoal Delivery Shed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eLoaded with Separate Details \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eDecal Signs Included \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eKit measures:5 x 5-1\/4 x 7-1\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eVehicles, figures, railcars and scenery not included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies - Your Valued Shop for over 40 Years!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walthers N","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48319565332633,"sku":"WAL9333262","price":47.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/09330000003262__32938.1694464037.1280.1280.gif?v=1784140724","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/walthers-cornerstone-n-933-3262-modern-coaling-tower-kit","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
