Nicely done! A step-by-step how-to-do it article for the magazine would have earned you an easy $200. Might want to keep that in mind next time you create a different and interesting structure (or some other project). I might give some thought to doing one of these for the Army airfield on my layout.

Didn't know about that option.....will do.  I'm just a rookie at this.  Just starting to build things for when my benchwork gets done, I will have things to put on it.  B

Checked ebay...some on there..

As I promised, here's a video and some pics re my Radar Tower (Disney) converted from the (unreliable) vibramotor drive to a (very reliable, smooth, silent) Faller AC motor drive...

...which is another cool option for the top of the Control Tower...IMHO.  The Faller motor can be set up for 4 rpm or 15 rpm, the video tower using the latter, of course.  I believe the 4 rpm rate would be ideal for a beacon...if only I could figure out how to deal with the bulb/LED in the center!!

That's what we needed! Thanks a bunch for the photo's!  Looks like it's a piece of cake to convert.
