Hello;

I am looking for detail photos of interesting small town grain elevators or milling type plants for scratch buildling.

Any would be helpful but are there any sites for this subject?

Welcome to MR Forum Kirby

This subject was touched upon recently by one of the other members and if you type in "Grain Elevator" into the search engine you may get some results.

If you check out my two "galleries" (links are on my signature) there are some pictures of Grain Elevator (the only one of it's kind in Eastern Canada as well as other RR and small town structures.

Hope this helps
