Thank you for the nice comments.
Got the Pikestuff kits. Pikestuff wall elements and Scotch Tape / Tesafilm are great toys for me
This is about what I intend to do.

Ground has been cleaned and covered with 2mm / 0.08" blue foam and all raw boxes assembled. Two silos from the Cornerstone bakery will be reused.

The newest plant of the worldwide nnWii* group will celebrate a grand opening on Monday morning. Coffee will be free, bring your own donuts (it's another budget plant, you know
). ps. You also have an opportunity to help us to fix last details....

Damn - I have a doctor's appointment, or I'd have been there! Looks really good Reinhard - big advantage is that you can ship absolutely anything in and out. in any kind of wagon, and the rivert counters can't say it is wrong! Have a virtual pint on me

A cracking industry Reinhard, and fits the spot perfectly.
Cheers,

Some details and equipment to unload hopper/tank cars with flammable freight outside the building.

Did you make those tall silos or are they a kit?
Re: Freelance 2013-2 (MAW) - Ralph - 08-11-2013
Looks great!!!! Love the nnWii name!

ps. That kit has a lot of potential for kit bashing.
Re: Freelance 2013-2 (MAW) - Rscott417 - 08-11-2013
I just realized you had already mentioned that, sorry
They're a good size, the walthers plastic pellet silos kit are too big. Maybe I can buy the bakery kit, keep the silos and resell the building..

Reinhard
Here's Fisher Flouring Mills (now Primo) on LAJ's Lower Alley Lead. There's 7 silos there. They used to receive flour, sugar & starch in covered hoppers & airslides plus bagged flour in boxcars.The building has 5 doors & the silos have 2 spots. They shipped 1-2 loaded boxcars per week. The address is 4921 Gifford Ave 90058 is you want to see it in Bing or Google aerials.

It continues to amaze me how you completely transform your layout with each rebuild, great work Reinhard!

Vernon. CA 90058-2723. At that address is also a plain building without silos only. Looks like they do it without silos inside the usual buildings.
