Silos are PVC pipe,there will be atleast 8 more of them.

Headhouse (to be replaced later) is from the Walthers kit along with the car shed.

The office is made from pieces of the Walthers building.
I love those big US grain elevators! Keep us up to date with progress. 8-)
I am also a big fan of grain elevators. They are the "skyscrapers" of the prairie. Nice work so far.
Lookin' good already Catt! Thumbsup

I too love the looks of the grain elevators (and GERN Flux facilities). There were some monstrous concrete silos over west of Houston, but last time I google-earthed the area, it looks like they've been demolished. Please keep us updated on the progress.

That is going to be a serious building!
That's looking good! And it's a pretty serious foot print too...going to need a lot of hoppers to empty those silos. Cheers
Update for 5-19-10

Got another block of silos about done and started on the headhouse today.(still thinking about adding more)

WOW, when you build an industry, you don't mess around. Nice progress.
Catt! I hope there is a big layout to take that elevator! Confusedhock: VERY impressive! 8-)
Not to stray from your build- Looks great by the way!- but yesterday I saw an abandoned grain elevator in NE Washington, D.C.! Didn't expect to find that!
