"Ever wonder why your covered hoppers run around your railroad with no place to go? Well, we've changed that! This Bulk Unloader with accompanying Silos (sold separately) is the answer. This system can be used in conjunction with an on-site industry, or if your pike doesn't have the room for a large industrial complex, use this system as an off-site facility. Hoppers are unloaded and material stored in the silos for pick-up by truck and taken to the plant. Many industries used such systems including feed, sand, chemicals etc." -Thomas Yorke
This all new Bulk Unloader kit designed by Thomas Yorke is just one part of the APEX Bulk Unloader and Storage Yard set. Highly detailed resin parts along with styrene and other parts build into a very realistic model that will add great industrial options for loading and unloading your hopper cars. Lends itself to multiple industries with ease. Use with 1 or 2 of our storage silos (sold separately) or any industrial building.
