Make An O Scale Flood Loader from a Menards Structure

In recent years, Wisconsin-based home improvement chain Menards has produced many unique and well-detailed buildings for the O and HO scale model train market. II recently purchased the Menards American Materials Plant #1 in hopes of modifying it to solve a unique problem on my model railroad. Let’s take a look!
This structure is a good fit for small spaces with a footprint of less than 6 inches by 6 inches, yet it has an impressive height of more than 15 inches. While the Menards building is fine as-is, I was not really looking for a sand, gravel, or concrete facility for my railroad. What I really wanted for my layout was a coal flood loader. I saw the Menards Materials Plant and thought I might be able to use it as the start of a coal loader facility and save myself a lot of time and design work.
