North American Ethanol -- Modern Industry for Your HO Railroad
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!

* 5 Tanks * 3 Distillation Towers * Outside Stairway * Roof Vents
The processing center is the heart of any ethanol plant. Within its
corrugated-metal walls, corn is milled, cooked and broken down into its
basic components, ready for transformation into ethanol. After
fermentation, the mixture returns to the building where it's filtered and
condensed into essentially pure ethanol, ready to be piped into storage
tanks.
On your layout, the Processing Center is a necessary addition at the center
of your North American Ethanol complex. The kit includes the main structure
with rooftop vents, piping, distillation towers, and appropriate tanks.
While based on an ethanol processing facility, this kit also looks at home
as part of a modern food or chemical processing plant.
