Walthers HO Valley Cement Plant

The Walthers Cornerstone Valley Cement kit gives you the structures you  need to add a realistic cement factory to your HO Scale steam- or  diesel-era layout. Cement is one of the most popular of all building  materials. Modern cement is made in special plants consisting of several buildings, each handling a step in the manufacturing process. Various  raw materials arrive by rail and are kept under cover in the material  storage building. Next, a conveyor moves these materials to the kiln  building, where they are mixed in measured amounts. They are then fed  into a rotary kiln, where heat starts a series of chemical reactions,  and the rotation causes the heated material to form into small chunks.  These pieces are fed into a crusher and ground into powder, which is  stored for bulk shipment by road or rail.    Valley Cement includes a  beefy bulk material storage building, corrugated-metal processing  structures, concrete silos with an attached hopper car loading facility, a tall smokestack and covered conveyors. Best of all, the rotary kiln  connecting the processing buildings is easily motorized using the  Walthers Motorizing Kit, 933-1050 (sold separately). This long, rotating cylindrical kiln will add motion and authenticity to your cement  factory complex. Valley Cement is a great destination for Walthers  ready-to-run covered hoppers and open-top coal and aggregate hoppers.  The complex as shown measures 40-1/2 x 23-1/4 x 11.5"  102.8 x 59 x  29.2cm

Valley Cement is just one of a wide variety of Cornerstone industrial buildings.
