dose any one know how to make a hot mix plant?
Umm, I understand that writing might not be your favorite activity in the world.
But you would most likely get more and better advice if you spent a little more time on giving us some background for your questions, and if you stayed with one thread, instead of starting a pile of posts with one-line questions without any context or background.
What do you mean by “how to make a hot-mix plant” ?
Are you asking for how to assemble a kit of an asphalt plant (e.g. this H0 scale Walther’s plant: http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3085)
Or are you asking for pictures of real hot-mix asphalt plants - try going to [http://www.google.com](http://www.google.no/images?q=hot-mix asphalt plant), click on “images” and enter the words: hot-mix asphalt plant You will get a bunch of hits, like this one: http://www.google.no/images?q=hot-mix asphalt plant
Are you asking how others have modeled asphalt plants on their layouts? Again, try http://www.google.com and enter the search terms: asphalt plant model railroad
One of the links you will find is this link to someone in another forum that is scratch building an asphalt plant from styrene: http://www.kitforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2117 - the project is not finished, but you can see how he is approaching the scratch building task - looking at pictures, making scale drawings, cutting out pieces of styrene etc.
There is a wealth of information out there (and in here in these forums).
But you would probably get more relevant feedback if you explained what you are trying to do, and why you are asking.
Just clarifying simple things like whether you are building
I have to say I agree with steinjr.
I see by your post count you are new here and sounds like new to the hobby.
You will get more informed, informative, positive answers to your questions if you take some time to spell out exactly WHAT you are asking with a little background and the scale you are working in or want to work in.
I didn’t know what you meant by “hot mix plant” - hot mix of what? oatmeal? cornflakes? Asphalt?
DO you want to model it to fill space? as a railroad side spur? as a main RR industry?
I did a google search and came up with some great info on REAL Hot mix plant asphalt company’s materials which could be of benenfit to you if you want to copy the real thing for instance.
I also quickly found this in HO scale at amazon.com {seems a best price from the several listings I found but I did not check Walthers directly}:

Does any of this help you at all?
There are no “dumb” questions , but there may be questionable ways of asking them.
