Reply to "New Project - Coal Storage Elevator System"

Did some more work on the elevator. I need to stop with the conveyor unit on top for a bit pending answers to a couple of questions so will turn my attention to the conveyor shed in the pit and the conveyor itself.

Based on some input from the customer it sounds like the two track the flood bins sit over may not be parallel. One track may be diverging from the other. This will affect the angle of the crossover conveyor house.

Also my plan assumed the conveyor from the pit was going to connect to an end bin but I need to be sure there is enough room in the pit for this. I may need to move the conveyor to the middle bin which means building another octagonal head house.

A nibbler from Micro Mark comes in handy for cutting out window holes in the thicker styrene (080)

All the pieces are cut assuming parallel tracks and the conveyor connecting to the end head house.
