I picked up one of those Walthers silo/transfer kits. What commodities/car types are you using to supply it with?

I honestly don't remember where I preordered them from, if you go to the RPS page you can click on there dealer page and find hobby stores near you that might be taking preorders

As the layout is located in Maine, I decided that road salt could be a possible commodity - delivered in covered hoppers. I guess another commodity for the area could be grain (animal feed)

Here is a video from the old 'Westbrook' layout showing hoppers being switched at the silos.

Excellent videos. It's nice to see a small layout that offers so much with limited track work. Although I don't think I would be happy with only a few siding, it does prove that you need very little to keep an operator interested.

Cool video! Thanks for the info Mal. I think I will use my kit in place of the ready mix plant.
