Reinhard;
To make the top of the mixing tower, I'd probably use some O scale scribed siding for the horizontal look and then just cement suitable sized square material for the vertical bracing. The section below that would be done with some corrugated metal siding material. The Walther's grain conveyor leg kit would be perfect (15 3/4 inches tall):     Along with their Support Trusses For Guywires & Piping (if you really want it to be detailed):     Those kits along with the Wet/Dry grain bins would give you a very nice model of a feed mill operation. Of course we're talking some money here to get all those kits and detail parts. I'll probably just use some of the other grain handling details that I've accumulated over the past few years, but we'll see. Feed mills come in all shapes and sizes and are often misidentified as being grain elevators - not the same thing.

Little update on the new track plan: I've just about finished re-laying all the track and am eager to do some test operations. So far I like the look of it very well and will have to throw together some structure mockups to at least make it appear like a layout in progress.
