assembled separately by cutting the Tichy railings to the appro-
priate length and then cutting the walkways to match. The
walkway assembly was then braced with .020” x .080” styrene
on the underside. The walkways were attached to the elevator
using Evergreen .060” styrene angle. Once the walkways were
assembled, I assembled the Tichy ladder and cage assembly
based on the dimensions from the bottom of the walkway to
the base of the elevator.
The silo distribution piping was constructed with the piping
supplied with the Rix Products Grain Elevator silo piping cut to
length. The distributor heads themselves were made from Lego
parts and the general construction is shown in [30 through
29. Partially completed feed bin elevator and
distribution head. The unpainted photo illustrates the
general construction of the elevator, head assembly and
pulley guard along with handrails, distributor, and Rix
Products piping.
