Nice work. I am building an HO railroad am going to have a grain elevatot, I like the one in your pic. How did you buile it, from scratch or from a kit? Mike

Mine is scratch built. In N scale I uses 1 1/4" schedule 20 PVC pipe cut to length to make the visible portion of the silos. I square them up and glue them carefully with CA, then reinforcet them on the back with wood strips. The headhouse and elevator tower (not built yet) will be made from .040 sheet styrene.
