The rural elevator was more than just a trackside industry. It was the center of many rural communities. And in some places it WAS the community. Handling grain from local farms and selling it to distant markets, these older buildings are still active today. With its colorful signs and period styling, this HO Scale elevator is perfect for your layout and your favorite era, from the 1800s to present day. The kit includes the main elevator, plus a storage building and a scalehouse, all with realistic "wood" walls. Separate doors and windows add to the realism, along with colorful decals for several grain companies.
