bts grain elevator kit (0)

The Howard Brothers, Dave and Bill, have been in the grain business for decades storing and shipping the local farmers' crops.  They recently added a feed sales, painted in a spiffy two-tone gray to honor Bill's time in the Navy, to their elevator complex to hopefully kick up the profits.

The elevator can be build with or without the horizontal bands; the version without the bands is shown at the bottom of this page. The bands are usually seen on a studded versions of the elevators. 

As with all B.T.S. kits, this masterpiece is laser cut and engineered for easy construction. Slots and tabs eliminate alignment problems. Adhesive-backed window sashes make glazing the windows a snap. Other features include positionable doors & window sashes and removable roofs.   Naturally, an ample supply of brass and white metal detail castings, including workers, are included to provide a high level of realism. 

This kit consists of laser-cut basswood, plywood, and cardstock.  The footprint is shown below; overall height is a scale 82 feet.  Track and scenery are not included. The HO model is shown in the photos; minor details may vary between scales.

I've never been disappoint with BTS or their kits.    As with the Cabin Creek Coal Tipple the Grain Elevator will take some space.  Two BTS structures are pictured.

Front is Elliot and Sons Supply, Rear buildings are the Cabin Creek Coal Tipple.

I've never been disappoint with BTS or their kits.   

Agreed!  I don't build a lot of kits anymore - generally scratchbuild whtever, but the few kits that I have built of late have been from BTS and they are top shelf.

That's a very nice looking complex.  I have a few of their smaller kits and agree, the best on the market.
