IrishModelRail Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi lads, Does anybody know where I can get my hands on a cement silo similar to the prototypical examples in either Cork or Tullamore? Thanks, Seán. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 josefstadt Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Seán, I don't think anybody produces these. Walthers has a kit called the 'Medusa Cement Company' but this includes eight silos and they don't look very like the Irish examples. Your best bet would probably be to scratch build your silo using a length of plastic pipe or a cardboard tube covered in thin plasticard.

0 Broithe Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Somebody did build a really nice one a while back - possibly on the old site - can anybody remember who it was? I wonder if it was Geoergeconna...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Riversuir226 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Georgeconna built one alright, it was on the old site. Scalahanes is pretty sweet though. Must get moving on my one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
