Hello to Eric...from the 'Peg...I'm in for item #25, Twenty Five...VIA Combined schedule...at your asking price or more, as I'm missing this issue. Brian P Schuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat material was used to construct the siding on the Central Grain elevator? It is unusual to see a model of an elevator with pressed tin siding as opposed to wood (or corrugated steel which was quite rare in Canada but common in the US).
ReplyDeleteGood question, Tyler. That was indeed a metal finish - pressed tin. I reproduced it in HO scale by scribing (oh, lots of scribing) of styrene. Interestingly, Manitoba Pool's refurbished and new elevators used a tin siding as well (I have a piece in my collection!)
ReplyDeleteOriginally, it was a United Grain Growers elevator model, and here's a Steve Boyko blog link showing the prototype.

Thanks for your question,
Eric
Eric,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the response... I was afraid you would say it was scribed! I was hoping there would be some Evergreen or Plastruct sheet with a tile pattern that would look close enough. But yours looks very convincing in the photo. The only other model I've seen of this style was sheathed in aluminum foil embossed using a pizza cutter. In addition to UGG and MPE, my layout will likely require Sask Pool and NM Paterson elevators in this style.
