Hi Guys,
I got to thinking that some people might want Background ADM Grain Elevators for use up against the backdrop of a layout to take up less space then the full size kits. Im in the process of building one that is about half the width of the full size.
I've made this one into a larger size then the ones that I usually build as well. By larger size I mean longer then what I usually build. This one has silos on both sides of the main structure. 4 to the left, and 8 to the right. The left silos have the conveyor housing, the right 8 silos will have piping. The first 4 silos will have overhead piping with supports from the top of the main structure, the last 4 silos will have a pipe line running down the first 4 with one pipe going to each of the last 4 silos.
Details like safety railings around each of the 3 roofs of the main structure, caged ladders connecting the roofs (main structure and right silo structure), a platform from the "door to nowhere" with a caged ladder leading to the roof, railings all the way down the 8 silo roof, and a caged ladder between the 4th and 5th silos running to ground level.
Here are some pictures showing the structure as it is now. Right now I am about half way complete with it. The left silo structure is complete, the main house is mostly complete and just needs the railings, caged ladders, and platform for the door, and the right silo structure has just been assembled and still needs to be painted and then needs the railings and caged ladder installed. The pipeline still needs to be constructed, and the overhead piping/supports built and painted.
Just wanted to show you guys what its looking like as of now, this will be going up for sale once Im done with it, so if your interested, let me know
