Pictures of the new Sanding Tower....

Just curious, but how do the locomotives run thru it in order to get "sanded"? 

I noticed you have a turbine ready to take a "spin"!

And I do agree with HW.  Usually sanding towers are place away from buildings and placed where diesels, and in UP's case, turbines, are fueled amd watered.

How did I know that Hot Water would find something wrong rather than commenting about the tower itself...???  OK....I placed the tower at that location to take the photos...it is not in its final resting place...guess I should have said that in the initial post above.....

Oh....Hotwater....I will be turning the locomotives in the roundhouse around so that their rears are facing you which I believe is the proper direction...??

Very nice tower and paint job.  Did you spray paint it?  Beautiful lighting affect.  Looks like sunrise with the shadows.  Think I'll use that for a sunrise or sunset shot on my layout.

After reading your comment that this layout was made up just for the photograph, I'll only suggest that the tracks should have chocks or stops to prevent the engines from accidental roll-off.

Very nice.

Thanks for the pictures, very nice!!
