Roy/folks,
That's a great looking elevator--very quaint. I'm a little confused as
to how the grain got into the elevator. Most of them had a shed, a
truck was driven into and unloaded into a pit where the elevator lifted
the grain to the bins. This model doesn't seem to have that area/
AMB made one (under the Building & Structure name) several years ago. A
nice basic kit laser cut in styrene. Part of the problem might be that
so much of the S crowd is either lives/models East or West of the grain
producing areas. I have three grain elevators and two mills on my
layout now--not sure if I can fit a new one in.
