Walthers co-op storage shed 933-3230

I just picked this up to add to my industrial office. I know these were sold prior together as a rail yard office and storage shed but there are a number of mystery parts that would be a foundation far another building, looks like a building with a drive through scale maybe.  Anyone know what the third apparent iteration of this kit is?  Just curious.

Think it is part of their grain elevator.

Thank you for the quick response!  I find interesting how they are repurposing parts of kits. I like it personally.

My co-op shed came in a bag and I think just some of the parts are on the same tree.

Yes, I am sure it is cheaper to reshoot a plastic mold wth extra parts than make a new mold.

It was part of the grain elevator kit twenty years ago. Coincidentally my first N scale kit.

I've had some of their kits come with extra sprue of whole sides just because they need some of the parts .. great fodder
