Bob,
The AMW Pennsy brick tower looks great. It has been discussed previously on the forum - it's an impressive model. I didn't choose it since my primary modelling interests are the Pennsy branch lines that ran into NY state (Elmira branch and Buffalo branch). Small, wood towers were prevalent on these branches (although I have not found a prototype photo for the AMW tower). The brick tower is more suited to Pennsy main line locations.
The AMW website states the prototype for the tower I'm building dates back to the late 19th century. It makes sense that very few of these diminutive towers survived into the mid 20th century. But that's part of the appeal for my purposes.
