Fooled me! I thought you'd given us photos of the prototype. Nice photography, great modeling.
Well done.

wow wow wow Do you have pictures of the other side?
What did you use for the silos? Really amazing model!
Wow! That is an impressive elevator! Not to mention the fantastic photography as well. Nice job on the composition, I had to look at the enlarged photo to tell it was a model. Especially the one at sunset, if I did not have the others to compare it to I would swear that it was real.
Nice work! Love to see some more photos!

Well it started over two years ago. I wanted to scratchbuild a modern ho elevator that looked as if you could load a shuttle train, unlike Walthers that looks like each silo could only load 1 car. For the first couple years, I just tried finding pictures during my free time to base it off of but decided to make a generic one considering I don't have a layout yet so there wasnt a need to be based on an exact prototype. So...it wasnt until my semester break this year from Dec. 20-Jan. 20 that I was able to start working on it. I got most of the elevators main components done but hadn't gotten started on the base when I had to head back to school. Finally, June rolled around and I was able to finish it by adding final details to the elevator and laying track and scenecing the base. I was just able to finish it by our club's open house on June 23. Here's some pictures of the result.
