This weekend me and the wife took advantage of the beautiful weather and went driving around. On the way home we were going through Pound, WI and came upon these structures. I had to get pics and share them. I do give credit to the wife, as she turned around so I could get these snap shots and even waited at intersections so I could get them. Unsure of business names.
I think I like the shed the most because it's so model-genic, and soooooooo flipping simply to build it would be a great first time builder project. A Walthers bulk transfer conveyor kit, Walthers or Rix Products enclosed conveyor leg, and a couple of Pikestuff Tri-Star Industries kits (in blue or green) kitbashed into a single building and all the windows and doors covered over with matching corrugated steel siding, which could taken from an end wall from one or both of the warehouse kits. The horizontal converyor may have to be scratch built. It's also all of these little things that leads me to believe this is a storage shed for dry fertalizer. The bulk unloader connects directly to the elevator, the elevator has no unloading pit as such. Besides the unloading tube and horizontal conveyor atop the roof the shed is not connected to the elevator. There's also a crap ton of farms in the area. Pound is pretty much a little toen in the middle of farm fields. There used to be a big highway going straight through town (HWY 41/141) but a few years ago this was all redone and the highway skips around Pound and another nearby little shack town called Coleman (which it also used to run right through).
Finally the elevator. The pic is of the most interesting side.
I kind of like how the end nearest the camera (and the one opposite) have a hip roof. The tall cylinder nearest the point-of-view is I do believe a verticle grain dryer, although I could be wrong. The rest of the small bins could all be modeled with Walthers Surge bins. I don't think the elevator would be that hard to kitbash either. Also, on not shown on the opposite side as hiproof side, was a low warehouse type building.
