This series of scale model farm buildings not only includes a tall grain elevator complete with signage, as well as a loading shed, freight depot, and rural train station. In most cases, a grain elevator refers to the entire elevator complex, which includes receiving and testing offices, any weighbridges, and storage facilities. As grain gets emptied from bins, silos, and tanks, it gets conveyed, sometimes blended, and weighted into railroad cars, trucks, or even on barges for shipment. When full, the bins, silos, and tanks can be emptied using gravity flow, conveyors and sweep augers. Bucket elevators are utilized to lift up grain to a consignor or distributor, from where it drops through conveyors and/or spouts into bins, tanks, or silos, in the facility. Also these days, grain-elevator bins, silos, and tanks, are generally constructed from steel and/or reinforced concrete. They were powered by animals whereas modern facilities are powered by internal-combustion engines, or electric motors. The early style grain elevators and bins were typically constructed of cribbed or framed timber, and were naturally prone to fire damage. In earlier times most grain elevators were located near railroad lines, and until around the 1930’s they were owned by railroad companies, whereas today ownership is typically with a cooperative or in private hands. Based around the steam-powered flour mills invented by Oliver Evans, these two gentlemen invented the marine leg, which cleverly scooped loose grain up and out of ships hulls and elevating the grain to the top of a marine tower. The system was invented by Joseph Dart, who was a merchant, with the help of Robert Dunbar, an engineer, back in 18 around Buffalo, New York. The advent of the Dart’s Elevator was a major innovation that revolutionized wheat production and storage. Prior to the advent of the grain elevator, the grain was mainly handled in bags as opposed to bulk storage and transport of loose grain. In early colonial times wheat was not only a staple of life, but production became a large part of internal and foreign trade. Going back in history, wheat was one of the first agricultural crops grown by European colonists in the US. Naturally the scenery and structures would vary depending on the geographical region being modeled and the type of crops or animals being farmed. Farm buildings or structures used in farming operations can include sheds, barns, and dwellings to house families and farmhands, as well as outbuildings for storage, livestock, hay, fodder, tools, chemicals, machinery, grain and crops. Rural scenes need animals, greenery, ponds or streams, fencing, some people, farm tracks or gravel roads, and structures of various kinds depending on the size of the scene being modeled. The key to adding authentic realism to any model railroad layout is to replicate true life scenes as closely as possible in miniature form.
