Coal was often used in the heater of a caboose. This HO scale coal bunker was a common site along the caboose track. Typically a gondola filled with coal was spotted next to the bunker. The coal was shoveled in using the “armstrong” method. The door on the side of the bunker is where the trainmen could go in to fill up a coal bucket for the fuel needed for the next freight run. This important support building looks complex with its interlaced corners but actually builds quite quickly. This is a quality craftsman kit with thorough instructions that are amply illustrated.

This kit includes color-coded stripwood, board by board construction, a pre-cut door, door handle and roofing material. Footprint is 1.25″ x 2.5″.
