51012 Steam Turbine Flat Car Load

A steam turbine converts the pressure and expansive forces of hot steam into mechanical
energy. It can then either power drives, or power a generator producing electricity. This principle has not changed over the decades for modern day steam turbines and their ancestors.

Steam is steadily eroding the metal fins. After countless hours of heavy duty the turbine must be shipped back to the factory for refurbishment. Such a load would have traveled somewhat unprotected from the elements. This gives us an opportunity to display a steam turbine on a flat car.

Kit contains parts need for one car:
17 Turbine Parts
Multiple Nut Bolt and Washer parts for Blocking

Required Items (Not Included)
