Custom Designed Grain Silos
Model Structures for Model Railroads is pleased to offer custom designed Grain Silos to suit the customer needs for their O Scale railroad layout. The Grain Silo design comes in three basic sizes - 6, 8, and 12 unit. The main building and loading dock for the 6-unit design is located on the end of the silos. The 8 and 12-unit designs have the main building and dock located in between the silos. The 6-Unit Grain silo has a overall footprint of 17 inches by 6 ½ inches with each silo a 2 inch diameter. The main building is 6 inches by 4 inches and 15 inches tall. The roof buildings add another 2 inches / 3 inches in height. The loading/unloading dock is wide enough to accommodate track and cars.
We also offer custom designs and have built up to a 16-unit silo complex. We now also offer the choice of three different elevations. Once an order is placed we will contact you and let you decide which elevation you prefer.
6-Unit Grain Silo
The 6-Unit Grain silo has a overall footprint of 17 inches by 6 1/2 inches. The silos are 2 inch diameter. The main building is 6 inches by 4 inches and 15 inches tall. The roof buildings add another 2 inches / 3 inches in height.
8-Unit Grain Silo
The 8-Unit Grain silo has a overall footprint of apporoximately 16 inches by 9 inches.
12-Unit Grain Silo
The 12-Unit Grain silo has a overall footprint of approximately 18 1/2 inches by 9 inches.
Grain Silo Shed Extension
This shed was designed to be used either in place of the existing shed for our grain silo designs or in the back as a loading/unloading facility for tractor trailer trucks. The shed can also be used as a stand-alone structure for both railroad cars or tractor trailer trucks.
The 16-Unit Grain Silo shown below was designed for a customer who wanted all silos on one side of the main building plus added doors and windows. The main building was also enlarged to make it fit with the design.
There are now three different elevations for the top service buildings as shown below. Once you place an order we will contact you and let you decide which elevation you prefer. The Standard and Variation 1 apply to all silo designs with the extension shed/ grain elevator either in front of the main building or on the end. Because the tall service building is shortened, Variation 2 applies to designs with all silos on one end since the extension shed / grain elevator must be positioned on the opposite end.
