how does grain get to the silo?
I am building a silo in N scale and was wondering how the grain is transported to the silo. Most likely by truck; but, what kind of truck? Is an N scale model of the truck available?

Building wooden wharfs
I am thinking about scratch building a wooden wharf area where cars would be spotted for unloading or unloading. My question would be does anyone know where to get plans / ideas? Does anyone have ideas for the size of the parts for the decking and piers. The scale is HO. The length would be enough to hold three or four cars.

Some of the scenery creation in these photos is incredible for the time (1939), and very interesting to see 75 years later.

Suydam Kit #522 Diesel House Instructions
I've recently acquired an old Suydam kit, #522 Diesel House,which is missing the instructions. Does anyone know where I might obtain a copy? I could probably figure it out, but the instructions would be useful. Thanks in advance.
Roundhouse Question?
Everyone should be familiar with the walthers roundhouse. It has a short pitched roof on the front ( turntable side ) and then it steps up to a longer pitched roof in the back. The step is skylights. The smokejacks are on the longer pitched roof towards the back. Therefore I assume the normal operation was to pull the steamers in. Is this the norm? I saw a prototype photo in which the roof structure was similar but reversed and it looked wierd. Anybody modeling a back- in roundhouse? How about some prototype examples?
Thanks MARK
Walthers Turntable Kit, P/N is 933-3171
When I decided, three years ago, to haul out my HO RR and all it's accessories for a new layout, I discovered that my turntable & pit had suffered damage in the move from my former residence to my current address. One of the helpers in the move must have decided it was far more rugged than it appeared. Not so. It was not worth the time it would have taken to restore it. So, I am now at the point where it is time for a turntable installation.
