Concrete Batch Plant

I am wanting to put a Concrete Batch Plant (Where the concrete trucks are loaded with redi-mix concrete) on my N scale layout and have not found any. Does anyone know where I could get one, or some substitute that would work? Do any of you have a batch plant on your layout, could you post a few pics? Thanks, Mike

Mike my local hobby store had one but it was for HO scale. I believe it was a Walthers kit. For HO it was $39.99.

I saw a video of a cement plant a few years ago where there were cement trucks, hopper cars,and box cars being loaded with bags of readymix cement. You could go get a lot of MRR mileage out of such a plant. A good scratch build project.[:)]

For images of the real thing try a search on here… a couple of years ago several people kindly posted stuff in response to a thread I started… all you have to do is find the thread!
