Every railroad had its own ideas about sand house construction, so most
were built to meet local conditions and seldom followed standard plans.
Since diesels also needed sand, these structures remained in service years
after the last steamer had been retired. This model fits any busy terminal
and includes a unique brick drying house, a large open storage bin, and
piping. Both steam- and a larger modern-era tower are included to fit your
modeling era.
