Grain elevators were built one of two ways. 1. Log Cabin where 2X material was stacked and nailed flat starting with wide boards and slowly getting narrow as the wall went up. 2. was the standard stud construction with wall boards. Either way a lot of lumber was used. Siding would be as the photo in Spoor Vol. 3 page 24 Corrugated steel behind the train with a stud construction covered with outside reinforcing 4X4 or 6X6 with steel rods running across the bins Also note the round bins often used to store grain during and till the mid-60's in USDA bins. Now check out Spoor Vol. 2 page 49 the lower photo at Sugar Grove Green Shingle material on the walls. Sheridan had flat sheets of asbestos board. Also remember you can not see all four sides of a building at once so just model the side you can see. In some cases steel tanks were put up starting in the late teens to early 1920's often in combination with an older wood/tin covered see my article in Zephyr 62. Also note the difference in weathering on an elevator not maintained. Steve in SC

Hello Louis. Based on my limited knowledge of how wood Grain Elevators were built 100 years ago; Not all Grain Elevators were sided with wood or corrugated metal. The picture you sent appears to me to be built with dimensioned lumber laid on its side as shown on Fig. 46 below.
