Robin.... What a great looking Coaling Tower ! I was trying to find photos/plans of one to build, but since I am building a small layout, I needed to find one that would match-up with a smaller engine service area. I had already ordered several (kit form) coal chutes from Tichy Train Group, item # 8003 at $3.00 per pack. They come complete with pulleys, handgrabs, etc.
Robin, can you please share your tower's dimensions ? Have you estimated the "scale" tonnage rating on your tower ? Everything I have seen prior to your model looked too large for my "elfin empire", and your's looks just right.
Thanks again for allowing us to "look over your shoulder" on this one....
