Grain Elevators

[jmelvin]

I saw that Monkeyjunk started a thread back in 2007 asking if someone could BAT some Grain Elevators. His was the only post on that thread and I have found only a couple of lots along the line of what he was looking for (i.e., Newman Grain Warehouse, and DK1's Grain Elevator). The first is a functional freight station while the second is a farm lot.

I know there has been some very nice development lately for rural related items. I think that some new grain elevators would fit in with rural areas. From what I have seen of RL farming communities, grain elevators make more sense to me as freight station type of lots with rail sidings, some type of tall structure, interconnected silos, paved parking and delivery areas, etc. A freight station like this would fit very nicely on the edge of a small town and would serve to take care of the freight needs of several farms, especially if you have several corn, wheat, or other grain farms. This might even work as a reward for certain types of farms (I think I remember seeing that grain is one of the occupant groups in the BSC farming series).

I know Monkeyjunk posted a couple of JPGs with his request. I also found a good source of images for possible ideas:

having close connections to the bush really inspires you

this is something i started a little on in jan.



it's an open version of a silo/grain bin- tarp covered which is common in wa.
this is only abut 1/4 of the total length.
