I want to scratch build this tower, looking for dimensions, build drawings, or anything that gives reference to size.

 

Anybody know of a link or book that has something like this?  

 

I want to reproduce this scene on my future layout.  Weather is bad so I have some time to start working on a few projects...

 

Thanks in advance.

First time I have seen that picture and I live in the Ogden Area. I have a great steam era aerial picture of Ogden if you are interested (Oddly the tower is not in it, I think it's out of frame)

 

Anyway for info try to get a hold of Don Strack contact1@utahrails.net . He the local railroad know it all (its both good and bad) or Lee Witten lee@theunionstation.org who is the archivist at the Ogden Union Station

Are you doing all of Ogden or just the tower?

Chris, email sent!  Thanks!  You the Man!

 

John, I pulled the trigger and bought a Legacy H-7!  Pained me to buy new but I was tired of looking for the older TMCC version and got a smoking deal from Nassau Hobby (last one they had!).  Now waiting on the weather to give us a break, UPS has my Legacy Big Boy, H7 and Challenger!

 

I found an HO manf that made one in brass.  I'll contact the guys listed above,and also the manf, maybe they could send me the 'plans'?

 

Been buying trains, track, and power supplies.  Hope to start building structures while I buy stuff I need to start the layout.

 

Keep you all posted!
