Walthers SceneMaster Glacier Industrial Sands Kit

One of the oldest materials on Earth, sand, has become a significant part of the newest industries along the rails. While it has been used for centuries to make building materials, glass, and metal castings, sand can also be found in paint, fertilizer, and plastics. Recently, "fracturing sand" (or "frac sand") has become a hot commodity, used to break rock and improve the flow at new oil and gas fields. However, not just any kind of sand can be used for any kind of product, which means it must be hauled long distances from producer to end user - a big job tailor-made for today's railroads.

The process of producing sand involves a variety of methods, and many mines and quarries have added new equipment to speed up loading operations while increasing safety and reducing environmental hazards. Glacier Industrial Sands captures the look and feel of these operations and makes a great stand-alone facility, or a busy part of larger operations.

The kit that requires assembly includes two conveyors, a truck fuel tank, a main office, and a guard shack. It also includes a mixing bin, piping, and double loading silos. Additionally, the kit features printed company and safety signs.
