Current status of the grain elevator,a warehouse is planned to go between the silos and office on the right side.It would not surprize me to see a
GERN sign somewhere on this industry .

WILL NOT FIT where I want to put it.I will probly end up not using the smaller silos.

The ones on the left are 1.5" PVC pipe,the ones on the right are stock Walthers junk (and after putting over 10 hours into them
I say that in the most kindest way )

I think a lot of people would be surprised to find out how many elevators are located in urban areas. Look out from on top of a bridge in Los Angeles and you will see grain elevators everywhere! You won't find sidings with two or three elevator complexes on them like you would in Canada's or Kansas' prairies, but large commercial bakeries, breweries, and perhaps other industries that I haven't thought of receive loads of flour, various grains, or powdered & granulated sugar in bulk that they store in silos.

I have a vision of how I want this big beast to look (hint,it is going to get bigger) but since it will not fit where I want it to go I am going to revamp my plans for the layout and use it somewhere else.
