Hey Bob, don't forget the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul S folks. Solid
Midwest grain transporters all. And of course there are the 25 or so KC S
people, a bunch in St. Louis and a few in western Kansas. I seem to recall
some emails from colorful Colorado S gaugers.

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.
