Does Walthers offer these seperate for those of us that need more silos? Understandably, one could scratchbuild them from PVC pipe etc. but it would be nice to have an option for more silos to match up for an expansion. It would be great not to not have to buy another complete kit… What do you think?
Do you mean these…
Yes.

Years ago Walthers offered an expansion set for the ADM Grain Elevator (933-3022), unfortunately is no longer available and I think is out of production. The elevator shown in the photo is a kitbashed ADM Grain Elevator. I you’re planning to expand this kit I recomend you to buy several 933-3022 kits and use the silo parts for expansion. The Head House with Silos (933-2942) is a bit different and more expensive than the 933-3022.
PVC tubing is not a bad idea, but requieres a lot more work.
Why not make the Grain Elevator look like it was added on to? If one looks closely at the Elevators across the continent many have been added on to several times and have had different size silo’s added to them.
The texture and colour of the cement is different, as well as all the “hardware” one see’s on the top. Getting away from the uniformity of kits, is what makes a scene appear more real.
Just my [2c].
