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!

KIT FEATURES INCLUDE

* Concrete Double Silo

* Grain Elevator Leg & Conveyor

* Use with North American Ethanol & Modern Grain Series Kits

* Perfect for Post-1970s Layouts

Corn is the main source of the starch that's converted into ethanol, and production facilities consume many carloads per day. Many ethanol plants keep about a 10-day corn supply on hand, all of which is stored in on-site concrete silos. A conveyor leg moves the corn from the unloading shed to the silos and a smaller conveyor sends it from storage to the processing center.

On your layout, the Corn Storage Silos & Elevators kit brings a landmark to your North American Ethanol complex. All plants need corn storage silos, and large plants may need several. The kit includes the large double silo, rooftop handrails, the inbound elevator leg and the small elevator and conveyor bridge that moves corn to the processing center.

While designed as a vital addition to an ethanol plant, with the addition of your own hopper car loading chutes (available separately), the tall concrete silos and elevators in this kit can also be used as a stand-alone trackside grain elevator or as a modern addition to a larger grain handling facility.
