I built a cardboard malt silo out of cardboard tubes covered with a thin layer of spackling compound.
Could you please tell me if you prefer the "plain" silo ( pic 1 ) or the one with a conveyor structure ( pic 2 ).
So far the conveyor structure is just a mockup.
Any suggestion or improvement advise ?
When it's finished I'll add a big "Canada Malting" sign

First problem is I think that a double slip switch would help me get my trains where I want them to go.
I have looked at Peco at the LHS and it looks go, but it is code 100 and I am laying code 83 track. The nice thing about the Peco is that it was only 10 inches long and would fit nicely. Peco doesn't have a code 83 version of this turnout.
So the question is how big is the Walthers #6 double slip turnout?
Could I use the Peco code 100 and hook it into my code 83 flex track? If so would it look odd?

Here's a copy of a sample certificate that we will be awarding depending on the challenge or contest being held at that time. It will be 8.5" x 11" so it can be printed on regular sized paper, but since will be a jpg, you can size it to fit any frame. It's just our way of recognizing talent and effort.
