I am building a farm scene and am scratch building the silo. Does anyone know of any online site w\pix of them? Need roof ideas.
Keith,
Go to Google and do a search on SILO and then click on “Images” at the top of the page. You’ll get over 63,000 photos, many of which look useable.
There used to be a business called Countryside Models which sold a very nice, cast resin silo in N and HO scales, but the book mark I have for them now goes to a site which says the domain name is available. Don’t know if he’s still in business or not.
Paul, thanks for the tip. I’ll try it this weekend and hopfully I’ll see something that gives me an idea.
Take a drive into the countryside and take some pictures. I suspect that most landowners will let you take pictures close up if you ask and explain your purposes. Rapidly developing areas like where I live have many formerly working farms with older type silos. Active farming areas will probably have the modern blue metal ones. I can even see an abandoned old type windmill standing in a field as I drive to a nearby supermarket.
Good luck!
Bernie
