Plastic Pellet Plant Background Building Kit

Plastic Pellet Plant Background Building Kit

Add industrial realism and operational variety to tight spaces on your HO scale model railway layout with the Walthers Cornerstone Plastic Pellet Plant Background Building. Designed to replicate the functionality and appearance of the full-size Cornerstone Plastic Pellet Plant (#933-4145, sold separately), this space-saving structure is ideal for backdrop installations or shelf layouts where space is limited.

This kit captures the essence of a modern plastics processing facility, with a large brick and metal factory structure, four vertical storage silos, and a fully modelled loading rack with piping for realistic railcar operations. Plastic pellets are transported pneumatically from railcars to tanks to the processing building—just like in real-world operations.
