HO Scale Walthers Cornerstone 933-3049 Icehouse and Platform Building Kit
OEM in Package/Box

country with their perishable loads. Supplying ice for
the cars in transit was a huge industry. Railroads built
ice houses and platforms, like this kit, about every
250-300 miles. Here, entire trains could be serviced
and on the move in minutes.

fluted sides, large windows and a complete interior with tables,
stools and counter, plus a small outdoor refrigerator shed and
colorful signs.
