This is the third in a set of twelve assets intended to accurately represent the typical G. E. B. (Grain Elevator Board) of Victoria wheat silos, of concrete construction, that are ubiquitously located at railway sidings throughout the state. These silos were built to two different, though similar in appearance, designs known as ''Williamstown'' and ''Geelong'' with capacities ranging from 65,000 to 300,000 Bushels [2,364,000 to 10,910,000 litres]. This model is representative of the medium capacity ‘’Williamstown’’ design, with storage bins of 33 feet [10.065 meters] diameter and a height of 72 feet [21.96 meters] for a total capacity of 100,000 Bushels [3,637,000 Litres]. Although that makes it identical in capacity to it's 'younger' sister, this model differs from the second incarnation of these assets, in that it is only provided with a ''single bulk Hopper'' on the Receiving Roadway side (capable of handling only a single road vehicle at any one time), where all the other Silos have ''double bulk hoppers'' (capable of unloading two road vehicles at once). This was a common occurance in areas where the supply to the Silo was 'sporadic' or limited. To further visually distinguish this ''feature'', the receiving grills have been modelled with their lids 'open', as if ready to accept a shipment. This asset is provided with a fully operational and animated ‘Rail-side’ discharge chute, which acts as an 'industry, detecting the presence of a suitably ‘endorsed’ vehicle, automatically filling it. The asset is provided with it's own short length of track (utilising the ''VR 80 lb BG track'' by S301), the 'industry' part of the asset, which will automatically adjust to any track that is attached to it. Because of the script, the asset is not suitable for Trainz Builds below version 2.9.
