  • Product Information
Product Features
  • 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" to power street lamps, home appliances and industrial machinery.
  • The gas was actually a byproduct, made by baking coal to produce coke. Running night and day, a variety of fascinating machinery and structures were needed, along with plenty of rail service and now modeling these facilities is easy, with a brand-new collection of HO Scale Cornerstone Series kits from Walthers.
  • Typical of buildings found at gas works everywhere, each has been engineered for easy assembly and to fit almost any layout. Decal signs and complete instructions are included too.
  • To bake coal at the high temperatures required to produce gas, a special structure known as a retort was used. This consisted of several huge vertical ovens built side-by-side. While designs varied to meet the needs of each operation, newer plants sometimes had a large metal storage building above the ovens. This provided space for a machinery house to power supply conveyors, as well as huge storage bins where coal could be delivered to each oven by gravity as needed. Between these structures, a series of pipes collected gas and other byproducts.
  • With its detailed brick and steel parts, this unique structure says "heavy industry" in any scene. The kit includes ovens, overhead building, covered conveyor and additional details.
