Now that's a structure worthy of rail service! 
I agree with the others, though: that seam needs to be cleaned-up. The silos for these kits, in both N and HO, were, in my opinion, poorly designed and poorly executed, too, making them difficult to assemble without the seams showing. Also, if the back of the structure is open, make sure that it's braced sufficiently to keep it from flexing, or you may have more seams opening-up later. Some bracing under the roof of the silos, spaced at intervals (a series of inverted triangles of .060" sheet styrene, cemented to the underside of the roof and to the interior of the front wall of the silo) will also help to prevent sagging as the structure ages.
