I'm building a small grain elevator for my micro layout.
The silos were built using cardboard tubes glued together and covered with a thin coat of spackling compound.
I noticed at the picture of a prototype elevator that there is a small structure that runs on top the whole length of the silos group.
On the picture it's the small structure with a bunch of small windows.
So the question is : What's the purpose of that structure ? does it cover a conveyor belt or something like that ?
What's the estimated height of that structure, about 7' tall ?
The 2nd picture is the one of my unpainted micro elevator.
