Lite and Narrow Column - 6
Recall assembling the tapered part of the main tipple bin. It is
time to repeat those steps and assemble the two for the shaker
house. Cut eight sheets of .020” styrene 12’ x 9½’. These are
different because these bins are higher than the enclosed one.
Again, make your cuts from the corners of the pieces toward
the center, allowing for a 2’ square opening in the bottom.
After assembling the bins and gluing them to the 12’ squares,
add three scale 2” x 8” strips to three of the sides and two to
the other side leaving the center open. This is where the truck
chute attaches to the bin.
Cut four 9” H-beams 29’ long. Glue them to the outside corners
of the bin with the panels on three sides and the attach the bin

6. The bins under the shaker house under construction.
The operating mechanisms for the chutes and the outside
chutes have yet to be installed.
