{"product_id":"vintage-coal-dealer-kit","title":"Vintage Coal Dealer -- Kit","description":"The prototypes for coal and oil dealers like the Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Vintage Coal Dealer were well known to everyone in town. Shoehorned alongside mainlines and sidings, these businesses sold coal for home heating by the bagful or the ton and delivered to your house. Commercial accounts like small factories and stores were also serviced. As oil furnaces became common, many dealers expanded their line to include home heating oil too.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Whether in a big city scene or a quiet country town, this kit looks great next to the tracks of your HO Scale railroad. And like the prototypes, the buildings are easily arranged to fit in odd-shaped spaces. Typical of facilities commonly seen in the US from the 1920s to the 1960s, this Vintage Coal Dealer can be built as a free-standing business. This is a great location for spotting those hoppers and tank cars.
