COMING SOON: Interlocking Tower

NEW Built-&-Ready®: Interlocking Tower

Coming soon in 2025

Trains approaching intersecting rail lines and junctions on a layout will find an important building known as the Interlocking Tower, a new Built-&-Ready® Landmark Structure®.

A crucial component of the railroad network, these towers house an interlocking track machine that controls train movements through signals, switches and track circuits. This system also guarantees safe operations at railway stations and junctions.

The interlocking machine’s model board sits in the center of the tower’s upstairs cabin and is visible from 360 degrees through windows on all sides. The operator’s office desk, a wood stove, lanterns and additional features, such as pin-up posters and a calendar, can also be seen.


The exterior of the two-story Interlocking Tower is loaded with authentic details, including a weathered, shingled roof, an identification sign stating “WS No. 7” and an upper deck with staircase to the ground level.

Tires, a spool of wire, water hose, diesel tank and barrels give proof to the daily activity at the Tower, including a toolbox and a pair of boots on the deck outside the upstairs cabin door.


The building has three lights – two over the exterior doors and one interior upstairs light. The pre-wired LED lighting is made for use with the Just Plug® Lighting System.   


The Interlocking Tower is ready to place on a layout right out of the package and will be available in N, HO and O scales.

Tip of the Month: Easily Make Ice

Frozen ponds, lakes and rivers are an essential part of every winter scene. The ice in these features ranges from crystal clear to completely white or a mixture between the two. There may be chunks of ice floating in the water or cracks in the ice along the shore. The surface tends to be textured, but it can be glass smooth.


Color the water base and leave all water areas free of Flex Paste™ and Soft Flake Snow™. Pour the water product after all other landscaping materials have been installed.


Mix and pour Deep Pour Water™ into the prepared water cavity. Once it is poured, immediately begin sprinkling Soft Flake Snow into the Deep Pour Water. Cover the whole surface with Soft Flake Snow. Let it sink into the Deep Pour Water until the surface no longer looks snowy. It may take a few minutes.


Once the Soft Flake Snow has been immersed in the Deep Pour Water, add additional layers. Keep layering until you have achieved the desired effect. Less Soft Flake Snow will result in a glassy surface on the water. More will create a whitish, crystallized crust.
