Rural granaries like the prototypes built by the Walthers Cornerstone Valley Growers Association were somehow more than just an industry by the track. The granary was, and in some places still is, the centre of many rural communities. And in some places, it was the community. Many of these older buildings, where grain from local farms was processed and sold to distant markets, are still active today as stand-alone facilities or as part of larger grain and feed mill complexes that grew up around them. Steel granaries came into use in the 1920s when sheet steel became affordable. In fact, many wooden granaries were encased in steel for fire resistance. With its colourful signage and contemporary style, this corrugated steel store is perfect for your build and your favourite era from the 1920s to today. The kit includes the main store as well as a wood storage bin and wood office, all with realistic wall textures. Separate doors and windows add to the realism, along with colourful decals for multiple grain companies. If your steam or diesel era railway transports grain, you'll need the Valley Growers Association grain elevator along your route.
