The grain silo has been a landmark across the North American breadbasket since the railroads moved west. For my layout, I built a small setup on a 32x32 baseplate. The roof over the grain load/unloading area is removable for play value at shows. Additionally, one wall is removable so the interior (including grain elevator) is visible. The brick built ear of corn is based on design on the combine harvester from 2009.

Nice work on both the silo and the trains, they work well together.

Thank you. It provides a better visual if the silo has the right cars to run through it.

Very nice building and amazing logo! :wub:

Nice to see also the train with the right wagons!

Not often old BN cars get hooked to a UP locomotive, but I appreciate you noticing they are covered grain hoppers.
