Mine has a door.

I often don't like the door(s) that come with many kits and have modified many. It should be easy enough to make a door, just look at mine for guidance.

The storage bin was just that, used for storage. The grain would be transferred back to the elevator for train loading.

Grain elevator' storage bin without doors
Posted by ModelTrain on Wednesday, April 28, 2021 7:50 PM

Hi everyone!

I am still modeling my grain elevator from Walthers. I have finished modeling the elevator but now I am building one of the two other buildings in this kit, a storage bin. The problem is that there are no doors on this little building.

My stupid questions are:

1. What is the use of this building in relation to the grain elevator?

2. How can they store something inside this building if there are no doors?

Thanks for your help!

Bin
