Thanks for the thumbs-up, guys!
I also looked some more at prototype pictures from one of my favorite websites - the visual resources collection of the Minnesota Historical Society (http://collections.mnhs.org/visualresources/).
I could have lived with the original elevator (which looked like it had a head house and 16 silos in a 2x8 configuration). The Calumet Elevator Company had one that had just 10 silos in a 2x5 configuration in this 1910 photo: http://collections.mnhs.org/visualresour...geid=75754 - just one more row of silos than the basic configuration of the Walther's ADM set.
But I'll go with the bigger elevator. Got the new silos and the headhouse drying after the soap wash now, so I can give em a coat of primer today.
Grin,
Stein
