New Product Express June 22nd, 2021

We're bringing new business to the railroad this week, as the Walthers New Product Express lends a hand with hoppers of sand!

This isn't your ordinary playground stuff, but "fracking sand" that's become essential to the oil industry. Not just any sand will do either, as it has to be a certain shape and size to work. Problem is, the best supplies are a long way from the oilfields and that's where the trains come in!  Heavy loads like this demand specialized cars, and modeling them is easy with the WalthersMainline® 39' Trinity 3281 Covered Hoppers. Based on later production cars with a seven-panel body, they began their railroad careers in the 1990s moving cement, bentonite and similar heavy loads, where they can still be seen today. Perfect for modeling unit trains and more, past runs of these cars have literally flown off our shelves! With a June delivery, now is the time to reserve yours, just follow this link!

With business booming, all of those newly hired, employees need a place to live, and the Modern Modular Home with Garage is a perfect choice. Built under cover in factories, these modular houses can be found all over North America, often in dedicated communities, but also as free-standing homes. Both kits are molded in matching colors for easy construction, and they're packed with details to bring your scene to life. This newly listed model home is sure to be a popular choice for HO home buyers - reserve your kit for the June delivery!
