Re: [CBQ] grain elevator kit suggestions

["jack winegar" <mrsafe@comcast.net>]

Hello Ted.

If you have the ability to build a kit, which I know you have the ability, you can build a model from a good set of plans that give the sources to obtain all the parts required. You're paying big bucks to a kit supplier to do this for you. Time to acquire all these parts may be well appropriate to pay a kit supplier to do this for you.

Design of a Grain Elevator wasn't very different from one area of America's Great Planes to another as shown in Brian's suggestions.

I have collected photos of Grain Elevators accross several US states. I'll make them available to all shortly.

Below is a graphic of a Grain Elevator schematic that covers the most popular versions.

I am looking to build a simple grain elevator spur on my layout.  I am not up to building my own elevator at this stage and am looking for a good representative kit.  My interest is Golden/Early Transitional period rural Illinois. I was hoping to stay Pre-WWII, but finding build dates prior to 1940 is proving difficult and I also really appreciate the streamlined look of the 1940's diesel so I might need to make 1949 my cutoff date. (I am trying to be as focused as possible so my wife will still support my "collection.")  I am looking at the Walthers Valley Growers model as it seems a decent intro kit. Open to input.
