    Walthers makes it. I ran across it not too long ago. It wasn't priced too high.

    Those racks look great! I was thinking of getting a set for a project. Sometimes, at bulk loading facilities, there are mobile racks. They look a lot like these... but, have rubber tires and small pump compressors on them. Thanks for sharing! JMS

    Nice. I don't believe I have ever seen this particular detail created.

    For that unloading facility, would that involve a hose connection? If so, storage for those hoses would help make the scene.

    Nice work on the unloading structure. Eagle is right... there would be hoses. Either, still attached to the piping or rolled up and hanging on one of the support posts. I have done it both way on my layout. JMS

    Small solid copper wire. Bendable to the shape you want, doorbell wire would work.

    Here is a pic on my layout. I used regular copper wire and just painted the ends silver to look like the metal "hook up" connections. JMS P1170509.JPG

    I see the MOW guys are busy. Those are great photos. What brand of fence is that? I picked up some of the Walthers and have not installed it yet. Thanks for posting the pictures!

    Isn't there a material which can be had at the sewing stores, which has a similar appearance to chain link? Can't think of what it is called these days.

    I've seen reference to tulle (sp?) which is bridal veil material being used for this purpose.

    Tulle is cheap stuff at JoAnns, Michaels, etc. One yard might last your entire model life.
