Load unit trains on the move with the Walthers Cornerstone 933-3051 Coal Flood Loader in HO scale. This kit is based on a hopper car loading structure in use since the 1970s, when low-sulfur western coal and just-in-time delivery turned unit trains into rolling conveyor belts. Served by a network of conveyors, the flood loader is essentially a large storage bin that fills entire trains as they creep past at walking speed.

Item 933-3051 captures that modern coal-handling operation and makes a strong focal point for a heavy-traffic layout. Add it wherever unit coal trains need to be filled and give your railroad a reason to run long strings of hoppers. As shown the Coal Flood Loader measures 4 x 6 x 11" (10.2 x 15.2 x 27.9cm).
