Modeling a Feed & Seed
Thought I would share some photos of a Feed & Seed building I built as part of a contest for Walthers. The kit included the Sunrise Feeds, Grain Elevator and Grain Dryer. I purchased the surge bin separately as I thought it would be a good addition the the facility. The story goes that it is the late 1960’s and in order to stay competitive the Feed & Seed has recently upgraded from reviving their material in only boxcars to now also being able to bring in material via covered hopper.
