I have the Big River Grain model, but wasn't there others as well? I need at least 31 different grain elevators, so I'd like to use as many ready models as possible.

RE: Grain elevators needed

You can assemble a variety of the smaller metal ones using my srvbins1.zip uploads and combine parts of existing concrete ones.SRV Ron

RE: Grain elevators needed

I need them to be a single object, because the tracks have used about 50% of the objects/tile. And there's lots of track to add(!)

RE: Grain elevators needed

That's one reason I supplied the raw parts. Of course, you need TSModeler.Post some pics of what is needed. There are some huge complexes in this area - some over 1/2 mile in length along the tracks.SRV Ron

So the package contains TSM files? Then it's very good, I have TSM.
Here's one I have been making today.
The other 3 pics show the Washburn Crosby elevator.
Some more pics can be found from:
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/hhquery.htmlThe building at the right corner of 3rd pic is the Great Northern Elevator.

RE: Grain elevators needed

Topeka has a large assortment of grain elevators but Hutchinson has probably the largest assortment of elevators in the world along with the largest grain elevator in the world.Austin

Here's one "in RE" shot. Mine is the bigger one. Is it too big, because the other looks so small. My model has about 37m tall bins, and highest point is at 60 meters.

Did a test one of a multicell storage elevator. This was easy to construct from segiments of tubes. I think that I may use SRV_Concrete instead of SRV_ConcretePier as I test this out. I can also tile the texture for a smoother look then the one tested.Still looking to photograph some large metal frame industrial windows so they can be used in the structures.Edit typosSRV Ron

RE: Grain elevators needed

The pier is usually needed because the riverbank can't be made straight if the building is not exactly lined up with the terrain lines. I think I will need lots of road textures as well:-( I can't use the road objects in all place because the tiles are so full. Almost 1000 objects and all of it is track!

RE: Grain elevators needed

Great! I also need a couple of large grain elevators for my route. It would be fantastic if you would upload those when they are complete.

RE: Grain elevators needed

Really nice elevator. Is that bridge available as road bridge (it looks rail bridge in the pic)? I don't remember seeing that one before.

RE: Grain elevators needed

The bridge is the Cape Cod Canal rail bridge, one of my newer submissions. SRVCCBrd.zipThe elevator needs a lot of detailing, such as doors, windows, dryer, control shack, and lots of distribution pipe. I assembled a quick test one last night to see how it would look. It is easy to put in the seawall base for flexability of use. This elevator is similar to one in Bay City which is served by rail. There is a huge complex in Zilwaukee which has a loading dock for ships.SRV Ron

RE: Grain elevators needed

Been busy with lots of summer jobs. However, I finally got a chance to photograph the Peavy Elevator in Bay City and will model that in the near future.SRV Ron
