Hi ,

Can anybody tell me who makes or has an idea how to make the above spout? When I worked for the grain companies loading boxcars, ( Dated Myself ) the spout was segmented into about 20 sections with  chains on both sides for drawing the spout up.

It could swivel from 1 side of the boxcar door to the next from the overhead exit of the elevator. A few years ago at Super Train in Calgary, I ran across a fella that said he could get them but I never saw him again.

Than Steve

Scale?

I recall reading years ago about folks in HO using a flexible straw to represent that spout.

I got in touch with A.M.B. and their reply was no to buying any of the spouts. I'm still hunting. Thanx to all of you for the replies.
