Thank you for the nice comments.

Got the Pikestuff kits. Pikestuff wall elements and Scotch Tape / Tesafilm are great toys for me Smile
This is about what I intend to do.

Ground has been cleaned and covered with 2mm / 0.08" blue foam and all raw boxes assembled. Two silos from the Cornerstone bakery will be reused.

The newest plant of the worldwide nnWii* group will celebrate a grand opening on Monday morning. Coffee will be free, bring your own donuts (it's another budget plant, you know Wink ).

ps. You also have an opportunity to help us to fix last details....

Damn - I have a doctor's appointment, or I'd have been there! Looks really good Reinhard - big advantage is that you can ship absolutely anything in and out. in any kind of wagon, and the rivert counters can't say it is wrong! Have a virtual pint on me Cheers

Did you make those tall silos or are they a kit?

They are reused from the Cornerstone Magic Pan Bakery

ps. That kit has a lot of potential for kit bashing.

I just realized you had already mentioned that, sorry 35 They're a good size, the walthers plastic pellet silos kit are too big. Maybe I can buy the bakery kit, keep the silos and resell the building..

Here's Fisher Flouring Mills (now Primo) on LAJ's Lower Alley Lead. There's 7 silos there. They used to receive flour, sugar & starch in covered hoppers & airslides plus bagged flour in boxcars.The building has 5 doors & the silos have 2 spots. They shipped 1-2 loaded boxcars per week. The address is 4921 Gifford Ave 90058 is you want to see it in Bing or Google aerials.

That might have changed. Streetview shows a plain "shoe box" only without silos. Google finds for Priomo in Vernon a new address at 3301Fruitland Avenue
Vernon. CA 90058-2723. At that address is also a plain building without silos only. Looks like they do it without silos inside the usual buildings.
