Ed thanks for this, which has got me looking for more information, particularly how the buildings looked. So far found this which has some pictures
http://www.abandonedrails.com/article.asp?id=315
The fallen flags website has pictures of one of the GE 70-tonners and an Alco S-2, both available in HO so this has plenty of potential for a small switching layout.
The equivalent line over here in the UK was the Great North of Scotland Railway which served a whole series of malt whiskey distilleries - and their stations also bore a paasing resemblance to U.S depots - but I digress, I now model U.S so lets concentrate on Buffalo Springs.
Ed, one question - the pictures on the abandoned rails site show buildings made of limestone - do you remember what the grain elevator was like?
Best wishes
Ken
