A small and tall structure has been added to the right hand of the main building. The center got four smaller silos (glue has to set until I can sand the caps). The entire installation shifted right. Distance to the road is now 1" only but that is ok. That shift provided the room to add a building to the very left. That building mimics as the main production building and has the loading docks of the finished products. It is key from point of view of operation to use covered hoppers (input) and boxcars (output). Without that little dock only hoppers could be used.

The glue has to set over night for sanding etc. Shop closed for today

The total length of my General Mills is 1 meter (40"). The depth is 12 cm (5")

I hope I can do it without silos on the backdrop. The silos behind the modeled part would not be visible at the prototype. They are lower then the foreground silos.

An open basic question is the number of tracks. I can stay with one track only and use the other one for the other industry in front of General Mills or reroute the other track and serve General Mills with two tracks. That would imply severe destruction in that area. I am currently not motivated to start that mess again...



The mill in context. You see the street right to the mill and the second track to be moved. The crossing with the wig wag signal would be a victim...
