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.
