hi all,
Recently I read an article about grain elevators. While it is elementary that this type of structure is used to move grain from one elevation to another in its transport, I have never understood just how this takes place. What components are inside such a structure or if they were pretty much the same. Here in New Orleans, there are several grain elevators along the dock at the riverfront for moving grain from ship to shore or vice versa. I plan on building a spur on my layout that will be a stock yard. I want to have a small grain elevator at that location. I would appreciate if anyone knows the workings of a scene like this to give me pointers on how an elevators works and what should be used in a stockyard\feed grain elevator secne.
