2024 Mik Cranberry Elevator

I finally got round to making a video of my 2024 Mik’s Build Challenge Grain (Cranberry) Elevator.
I built a base for it and added a spur and I’m thinking about moving it in the future but for now it is good.
Here is a video showing the building process and then a train comes along to pick up the cars.

I really enjoyed the video and slides you did on it’s construction. I am curious on haw large scale wise is the giant cranberry vats are? Must weight absolutely tons. :slight_smile:
Now for the brats manufacturing plant down the road.

Nice. Somewhere in my stuff I have drawings of an elevator that I got ages ago from Tom Yorke. I should add that to my project list.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I don’t know about scale Deneh but the silos are 4"x15" . As a Mik build I had to use what I had on hand. Cranberries wouldn’t be stored like that in real life but maybe in my little world they could be like presses that make the juice?
The lighthouse look was inspired by a real lighthouse a few towns over from me and 2 towers that were painted like it at a cement plant.
