Fenton is about 200 miles away from here, but the rice facility on the town web site looks almost just like the elevators in Rayne and Crowley, where my mothers family moved to 100 years ago. We are going over that way to a wedding in a few weeks so I’ll probably go photograph them then. I’ve got an old Heljan concrete elevator kit I’ll start with. I also have the Walthers centennial mills facade version, to build one day.

Those corrugated metal bins with the conveyors, I’ll look at them too while over there.

My retirement is probably going to be this autumn. I’ll have plenty of time for field trips after that, when I become a full time model railroader.
