Ideal for Your Railroad's Work Trains North American Ethanol -- Modern Industry for Your HO Railroad
New Page 1

 

Ethanol is big business--especially for railroads. Long trains of identical tank cars and huge strings of covered hoppers moving grain and ethanol byproducts have become an important part of the railroad landscape. Since the late 1980s and early 1990s, ethanol has more than DOUBLED the traffic hauled by some railroads!
 
Cornerstone North American Ethanol series kits, Gold Line(TM) freight cars and PROTO 2000(R) locomotives make it easy to add this rail-dependent industry to your model railroad.
 
Ethanol traffic touches almost every corner of the North American rail network--from the vast cornfields and wheat fields of the midwest to busy petroleum terminals in large cities. It should touch your post-1980s model railroad too!
 
Seven Cornerstone kits make modeling a complete ethanol plant easy. Three Gold Line freight cars make building your ethanol- and grain-hauling car fleet fast and fun. And a new release of PROTO 2000 EMD SW9/1200 locomotives are ideal for working the loading facilities and support trackage at your ethanol plant.
 
Build a Business or an Entire Layout
 
With everything you need to add an ethanol plant on your railroad, plus all the cars and a switcher to serve it, you'll have everything you need to re-create an entire industry for your railroad.
 
Plus, Cornerstone Modern Grain Series kits and other Cornerstone structures complement North American Ethanol kits, making it easy to model everywhere ethanol goes--from field to fuel tank!


Corn is the main source of the starch that's converted into ethanol, and the Corn Unloading & Storage Sheds are its first and last stop in production at the North American Ethanol complex. The kit includes an unloading shed with two bays, one for trucks and one for covered hoppers, as well as a corrugated storage shed and operator's booth for inside the unloading bay. The storage building is used to store dried distillers grains (DDG), the protein-rich co-product of the process used in animal feed, until it's loaded into covered hoppers for movement to feed processors. The corrugated structures are also similar to those found at modern milling, waste paper recycling and other facilities, so they'll look right at home at other industries.
 
 

While used primarily in work train service for dumping ballast, fill and rip rap, they can also be used in revenue service to carry sand, gravel, cinders, coal, limestone and other loose bulk materials used in industry. This HO Scale model comes fully assembled and includes a complete set of add-on wire grab irons; molded drill starter points on the body simplify installation. Proto MAX  all-metal knuckle couplers and free-rolling trucks with RP-25 metal wheelsets round out each car.
