(More customer reviews)The end result of the product is excellent, if you are an experienced builder. However, the people who created the instructions need 3 things; a proof reader, part number corrections and images that reflect the correct locations of pieces. I have been building for over 50 years and can't remember when the last time was that I saw such poorly done instructions. I recommend you take a deep breath and renew your promise to complete this beautiful structure...before you start.
When you consider this coaling tower, realize that it was designed to accept LARGE steam engines from both directions. That means 22" radius min on entry. To have a 4 track (coal drop plus three fill stations)from both directions using #6 turnouts or Wye switches takes up almost 8 Feet!

Based on an Ogle design, the Modern Coaling Tower will be a focal point in any engine terminal. And towers like this were also built on the mainline to refuel engines on the road. The model features realistic "concrete" walls plus detailed chutes and mechanisms. Like the prototype, it can serve three tracks at once, making it an ideal choice for maximizing service in minimum space. The same sturdy construction that made these towers appealing to railroads also made them hard to get rid of. With its metal parts removed for scrap, the tower could still be standing in a contemporary scene, a reminder of how things used to be.
