Gas Plant

Can Also Be Used As A Bean Factory!

For over a century, the gas works was a fixture of American cities and towns.

Long before natural gas and electricity were common, these facilities generated "coal gas" to power street lamps, home appliances and industrial machinery.

The gas was actually a byproduct, made by baking coal to produce coke.

After raw gas was recovered from the Coke Retorts, it was piped to the Gas Plant for cooling and cleaning.

This required several pressurized steel tanks, each handling part of the process.

As newer methods of producing and improving the energy output of the gas were introduced, the plant was modernized and larger tanks constructed alongside to handle increased production.

Typical of a modernized operation, this Gas Plant kit is a realistic blend of old and new and is complete with a large main building featuring excellent brick detailing and older-style arched windows with realistic thin frames.

Alongside you'll find a series of the steel tanks that are the hallmark of a gas plant.

Decal signs and complete instructions are also included.
