I have decided today that I am "done" all the wood construction on the tower, other than small details I will finish in the roof assembly.
Not to sure on what color this tower would have been back in the day. I have seen red oxide on most CPR wood structures but also some coaling towers that are just black.
I am going to try the tower in red oxide with yellow windows and black trim.
Decided to paint the structure before I add all the metal parts I will need to make(chutes, pulley shaft supports etc).
I thinking of 6 goose neck lites for various locations on the tower
Here are a few pics of the new paint.
Of course I will be painting the concrete pilings as well
