Walthers Cornerstone CORN SYRUP TRANSFER Manual

Thank you for purchasing this Cornerstone Series kit. Please study the instructions and drawings before starting. All parts are styrene
plastic, so use compatible glue and paint to assemble your model.
Corn syrup is used in baked goods, candies, beverages, canned fruits and vegetables and pharmaceuticals. The liquid is transloaded
from tank cars to storage tanks, then into tanker trucks for delivery to industries. Corn syrup benefits from steam heat to help it flow so
small boilers are a common feature of sites like this. Trucks pull into the transfer garage to make the transload under cover from the
weather. Of course the site manager needs a place to do paperwork and a converted shipping container makes a great office. This kit
includes a transfer garage with overhead access doors and loading platform, four large storage tanks for syrup containment with
intricate piping for unloading railcars into storage tanks or trailers, a mobile boiler house for auxiliary services like steam and heat and
a shipping container-style mobile office for site operations.
Some assemblies are comprised of small, delicate parts. Don't force the parts together – use a hobby knife or sanding stick to adjust
the fit while the parts are dry before applying glue. Once you're satisfied with the fit, use the glue sparingly to ensure a neat job without
marring the finish.

2. Glue the platform (3) to the column making sure the
extension faces the drive-through bay.
3. Assemble the platform safety railing by gluing parts (4,
5, and 6) to the platform
4. Glue the ladder railings (8, 9) to the ladder (7) using
the alignment pegs cast into the railings as a guide.

aligning the tabs at the base of the ladder railings with
the slots in the base.
6. Assemble the access bridge by gluing parts (11) and

against part (6).
7. Assemble the "floating" safety railing by gluing two of
