Hi Tom,
Catching up with email is a trip!
If you look at my photos folder (Phototraxx) you might notice that I
used two of the Walthers kits--one a wooden sided white elevator and the
other a more recent one with metal siding.
On the white elevator I added grandt windows where possible. I then
modified the boxcar service door. I have lost the downspout so I need
to make a better one. Mainline Modeler did an article a few years back,
so I'll have to find it. None of these mods are earth shattering, just
trying to make it look better. The covered dump house is a little small
but I just placed a smallish truck in it.
The metal clad version was changed more radically. I built a new
dumphouse and added an office to the front. Again Grandt windows, doors
and standing seam roof helped here.
I also built the 'Red Wing Mill', but since it's in the far corner of
the layout I kept it pretty much as designed, but raised it a half inch.
Hope this helps--I just pretty much do I looks good at the time.
Bob
