Also shown is a custom 32-unit grain elevator with a standard loading shed on one side and an old style wagon loader shed on the other side.

The shed extension is designed to be used either in place of the existing shed for our grain silo designs or in the back as a loading/unloading facility for tractor trailer trucks. The shed can also be used as a stand-alone structure for both railroad cars or tractor trailer trucks.
Also offered are closed shed designs (single or double bay) plus a new Wagon Loader shed

This S-scale grain elevator was built for a customer. Other than doors and windows dimensions are pretty much the same as O scale since O scale tends to be compressed to fit layouts.
