Solid trains raced across country with their perishable loads. Supplying ice for the cars in transit was a huge industry. Railroads built ice houses and platforms, like this kit, about every 250-300 miles. Here, entire trains could be serviced and on the move in minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis complete kit includes a detailed Ice House, based on a prototype in Antigo, Wisconsin, plus a modular Icing Platform, from a Pacific Fruit Express design. Lots of add-on details, including an optional platform roof (used in warm areas to shade ice and slow melting), roof vents and ice blocks are included.","brand":"Walthers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130133614674,"sku":"933-3245","price":38.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/933-3245-2__94142.jpg?v=1756150737","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/walthers-cornerstone-n-933-3245-ice-house-and-icing-platform-kit","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
