In this video I will show you how to detail and weather a model grain elevator for your railroad layout. I am completing my model of Elevator F in Saginaw, Texas with a loading shed, lots of details, and just the right amount of weathering to make it look really realistic in my scale. These are techniques you can duplicate on your own model elevator or other structures.
