The prototypes for the Walthers Cornerstone Baler-Logger receive loose, mixed materials (or sometimes automobiles) and crushes the material into compact cubes for easy storage or transport in gondolas or by truck. Sometimes the material is piled on the ground where it can later be picked up by an electromagnetic or grapple-type crane.

While offered as an accessory for use with the Walthers Cornerstone Washington Salvage Scrap Yard kits, this Baler-Logger is an ideal addition to any industry that processes scrap metals. Scrap yards, the steel industry, and economic markets are closely linked. The demand and the price paid for scrap govern how long a yard will store or how quickly it sells its scrap. If demand or prices are low for any product, volumes for that product build-up and the piles get high. When demand and prices rise, stored volumes are sold off quickly to generate a profit. Washington Salvage Scrap Yard is actually two businesses - an auto salvage business and a scrap business. Washington Salvage Scrap Yard includes easy-to-build plastic kits like the Baler-Logger. As well as cast-resin ready-to-use scenery details like junk auto piles.
