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!

Kit includes:

* 3 Fermentation Tanks 

* Beer Well 

* Fermentation Building 

* Add More Detail & Walkways with Detail Kit #933-2981, Sold Separately

Fermentation tanks are where ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced as enzymes and yeast chemically break down simple sugars in a corn/water mixture called mash. The gas is collected for processing and ethanol-rich beer is returned to the processing center, via the slightly larger beer well tank, for distillation and further refining. During fermentation the mash in the tanks is continually circulated through temperature control and monitoring equipment housed in the structure between the tanks.

On your layout, fermentation tanks are a necessary part of an ethanol producing complex. This kit includes three tanks, one slightly larger beer well, plus the circulation and monitoring building that connects them to the Processing Center kit (sold separately).

A stairway tower, piping, walkways and carbon dioxide vent pipe can be added using the Fermentation Tank Detail Kit #933-2981, sold separately.

Note: Because the structure is designed to abut the Processing Center, if it is used as a stand-alone structure a scratch built end wall will have to be fabricated.

These North American Ethanol series kits have quite a bit of styrene to them and shipping reflects the large boxes and large amount of material in them.

 We do combine shipping on multiple purchases.  If you do a Buy It Now the transaction requires immediate payment for each item separately. 

What you need to do is put it in the shopping cart and then when you go to checkout it will recalculate the shipping and combine the items for you. 

If you pay first I am unable to make any adjustment because ebay has then taken its fees on the shipping as well.  If you have a concern message me and I can work something out for you.
