Hi,

I have just uploaded some pictures of the gravel silo I was working on. You
can find the pics here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=3613

The building was based on a picture in the Kibri catalog (1999/2000). I plan
to also build an unloading station with conveyor belt to automaticaly fill
the hopper or dump truck. So this is actually just a part of the whole
complex...
In this picture:

You can see the switch where you can select on what side the gravel is
dumped.
It's still a work in progress so I'll add more details later on. I'm also
planning to make stickers for the yellow plaque and 'max height' stickers
for the overhead clearance.

LMKWYT!

That looks great. When you get a chance, it would be cool to see some more pics of the loading/unloading mechanism. Frank Buiting <frank.buiting@infopulse.nl> wrote in message news:G9sI0D.LEv@lugnet.com... (...) You (...) plan (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)
