Valley Growers Association Elevator
Posted by RailEagle on Tuesday, November 24, 2020 7:46 PM

Random question: Does anyone know what decals the Walthers Valley Growers Association comes with besides the ones for the box cover version?

Thanks!

That's a bad question for me to answer.  I don't even know what decals to decide on for the prairie grain elevator I built 2 years ago.

I'm confident someone here will have your answer thoughWink

I'd like to post a picture for you but I have no photo hosting site and there is a copyright emblem on the sheet.

But on the bottom of the sheet is ''2011 Wm. Walthers, Inc. Milwaukee, WI. 53281 D-3096   

I doubt it matters but maybe it does, this is for HO scale.

Oh you missed that one,  that was a long time ago so I understand.

I don't want to resurface a super old thread

Just Google "Grain elevator project Model Railroader" just like that and it will all come up for you
