Model Railroading > Arriving at Corn Products

The IHB has just arrived at Corn Products (Argo, Illinois). Time to switch them out.....

The corn syrup tank cars used by Corn Products are unique because they use a "clamshell" type cover over the various tank hatches....

Someone forgot to close a hatch on this hopper car!

Nice job on the tank cars, nice looking scene there too. I like the added decals. I notice in the 2nd picture there's a train on the bridge that's not there in the 1st picture and gone again in the 3rd.

Looks good.

Have you figured out a way to replicate the smell?

Nice work!  On my old BRC layout, I had the opposite end of that very plant represented with a whole slew of tanks and hoppers going in and out of it.

God, I used to joke about that with mine as well. SO BAD.

Nice work. When I saw the first shot, I thought you might have moved the old Ogden Avenue viaduct from the east end of Cicero to Argo.

That smell is unique sort of a burnt coffee smell but it's nowhere near as bad as a paper mill!

That was my first impression too.

It is when you're next to it 8 hours a day - have done both.

What you really need are IHB 1520 and PB1 seen here at Argo with caboose/shoving platform 35.
