Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Elevator Add-On Silos Kit - 933-3023

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Elevator Add-On Silos Kit - 933-3023 expands an HO scale grain-handling complex with four matching concrete storage silos and parts to lengthen the corrugated-metal headhouse. Designed for the Walthers Cornerstone ADM Grain Elevator 933-3022, sold separately, the addition increases the visual size and storage capacity of a modern agricultural industry. The completed add-on measures 9 x 4-1/2 x 9" (22.8 x 11.4 x 22.8cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for more HO scale projects.

Concrete grain elevators are often expanded as agricultural production and traffic increase. Additional storage silos allow a facility to handle more grain before it is processed, transferred, or loaded for shipment. This add-on provides a convenient way to enlarge the separately available ADM Grain Elevator and create a more substantial trackside complex.

Expand an HO Scale Concrete Grain Elevator

The Walthers Cornerstone Elevator Add-On Silos kit includes the primary components required to extend the matching elevator:

• HO scale grain-elevator expansion kit
• Includes parts for four concrete storage silos
• Silos match the Walthers Cornerstone ADM Grain Elevator 933-3022, sold separately
• Includes components to lengthen the corrugated-metal headhouse
• Suitable for modern agricultural and grain-handling scenes
• Can increase the size and storage capacity of an elevator complex
• Multiple add-on kits may be used to model a larger facility
• Useful for rural, urban, industrial, or waterfront grain terminals
• Plastic structure kit requiring assembly
• Finished add-on measures 9 x 4-1/2 x 9" (22.8 x 11.4 x 22.8cm)

The four matching silos integrate with the separately sold elevator so the expanded complex maintains a consistent concrete appearance. Extending the corrugated-metal headhouse helps visually connect the new storage section with the original structure and explains how grain moves between the additional bins.

A larger elevator can support more extensive railroad operations. Covered hoppers may be staged on receiving or loading tracks, while locomotives switch cuts of cars through the facility. Trucks, workers, utility vehicles, access roads, scales, and grain-handling equipment can be positioned around the property to create a busy agricultural scene.

The add-on also gives modelers greater flexibility when fitting a grain facility into an available space. Silos can help form a long linear elevator beside a siding or contribute to a broader industrial complex with multiple tracks and truck approaches. More than one kit can be incorporated when an especially large terminal is desired.

This package is an expansion rather than a complete operating elevator. The Walthers Cornerstone ADM Grain Elevator 933-3022 and any additional conveyors, rolling stock, vehicles, track, or scenery shown in a finished scene are available separately.

Develop a Larger Walthers Cornerstone Grain Complex

The Elevator Add-On Silos fit naturally with Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures when developing a grain elevator, feed mill, flour mill, or agricultural-processing district. Production and storage buildings from Walthers Cornerstone factories and warehouses can add more destinations for rail and truck traffic.

Nearby railroad facilities can be selected from Walthers Cornerstone trackside structures. Conveyors, utility components, and smaller elements for detailing the elevator property are available in Walthers Cornerstone accessories and details.
