Reinhard,
I agree steel and concrete silos doesn't blend perfectly. However, I've seen many concrete silos later cladded with vertical corrugated siding. The large elevator I'm building on the club layout has such clad silos (thought I'm modelling the older non-clad version of the late 50s).
Maybe the steel bin between the two row of concrete silos is out of place. Looks very "rural" to me to be there. It would be more realistic to have it placed after the concrete silos, as a cheap extension of the grain elevator complex. The same as you did with the surge bins.
