Finished my 97 coal tower and thought I would try posting some pics before I place it on the layout.

Wow, very creative and a super model as well! Is it scratch built?

I always wondered how to update my old coal elevator like the one you have.
Now, I know. Thanks

The best remake I have ever seen! VERY NICE....love it!
Thanks,

Man that is awesome. Great job.
Thank's for the compliments! I originaly purchased my 97 coaling tower for my prewar trains around the room shelf display. When I started my high rail layout I thought how can I use alittle "action" yet make this fit in. WHA LA! Yes scratch built.
Fantastic Job!
Incredible job making a toy like accessory into a very realistic model! That is awesome!
Outstanding scratch build!
Thought I'd show some pics of the final result on the layout.I always appreciate seeing others pictures. Hope you enjoy.

Now you're talkin! Very creative concept and wonderful execution. I love it!
Integrating tinplate accessories with quality scenery is my favorite topic. If you don't mind my broadening your thread, I bet there are other projects like this out there that maybe people would be willing to share. Here are a few shots of my colliery scene, including several spiffed up accessories. Nothing that holds a candle to yours, but sort of in the same category:
jackiejr, Great work.
Avanti, I like the wood deck look you created on the log loader. I will have to look into doing something like that.
I like the rework of all of these accessories. It really gives it more of a real function verses toy look.
I took the roof & posts off of my log loader and will drop logs from an upper level track down a chute to the loader. The project is on hold right now as this track area is being totally redesigned. Click on link below.
