QUOTE: Originally posted by tatans Are you referring to small wooden grain elevators found in every small town which are disappearing fast, or large concrete silos called terminals, which have replaced most elevators and are fewer in number and farther apart. I can't distinguish between grain handling facilities or chemical sites on these newer silos.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 I love grain elevators so much, that I am devoting 40' of layout to the Hiawatha milling district in South Minneapolis. All of the mills and elevators are going to be scratch done using cardboard tubes and PVC pipe as a base structure. I have a lot of photos of the area, but nothing built yet. I am working on the benchwork for this section, and as soon as it is finished, I plan to dig right in. To hell with the mainline and the rest of the railroad. I WANT TO DO SOME SWITCHING. [swg]

QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 Heartland, Roger and Ckape, nice models!! Jamison, by saying "grain elevator", it was like putting out bait for the midwestern crowd. Just look at all of the Minnesotans coming out of the woodwork. I love it!! [^][8D] I kind of figured your being from Iowa, you might have gotten up this way. By the way, the invitation I gave Gary is open to everyone, just let me know if you are coming to town. I designed the layout with visitors in mind. When complete, the visitor's entrance is going to be in the lower left corner of the plan above. The first thing people will see is the milling district, all the way down.[8D]

QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 of course i recognize those. some of them i had to try and figure out what angle you were shooting from. the one with the train coming at you was that taken from down across from that trucking place? or where were you on that one. i should get out and take some pictures soon before it gets to cold.
