Mays, IN: Located on the other NKP branchline (now abandoned),<br />
from New Castle to Rushville, Indiana the Mays elevator<br />
still serves the needs of the farm country surrounding this tiny<br />
East Central Indiana community. A general store is located next<br />
door, forming a time warp scene from the good ol’ days.<br />

Millville, IN: Does it get any more classical than this? Believe<br />
it or not, this was photographed in 2002! Located on another<br />
former PRR line out of Richmond, Indiana, (now Norfolk<br />
Southern), this timeless prairie sentinel stands tall in the mostly<br />
flat landscape surrounding it. It’s a true gem. The Liar’s Bench<br />
(Photo 9) is a “must-have” detail on any model.<br />

Gem, IN: is another tiny town along U.S. 40 just east of<br />
Indianapolis. This facility is on the same PRR line as the Knightstown<br />
elevator. The tracks were in the foreground of this scene.<br />
The long narrow footprint would lend itself nicely to a shelfstyle<br />
layout. Many elevators added large storage silos and other<br />
modern grain handling and drying equipment in the late ‘60s<br />
and early ‘70s. Depending on the era of your railroad, you could<br />
omit them to save space.<br />

Cedar Grove, IN: Here’s a real small town beauty. Located<br />
on the Indiana and Ohio’s branchline from Valley Junction,<br />
Ohio, to Brookville, Indiana, this nifty little feed mill was also<br />
served by a double-ended team track (recently removed). It has<br />
hardly been modernized.<br />
I modeled this one for my Indiana and Whitewater. That will<br />
have to be the subject of another article, however. u<br />
New! O <strong>Scale</strong> Birney<br />
This is a true O <strong>Scale</strong> 1:48 model. The die was<br />
made from the drawings of a real Birney!<br />

The model comes with a complete interior, less power<br />
truck and lighting package: $35.95. We expect a 4-wheel<br />
power truck kit in mid-April, followed by the lighting kit.<br />
