Beautiful work by all
Finishing up on replicas of the Suncoast 200 Ton Coal Tower. One is a customized kit bash while the other is scratched built. I will post a separate thread once I have completed the structures. From what I understand this kit is not offered anymore???????????
I just found a major issue with the kit - If it is placed over track on top of roadbed at 5 inches it is not high enough to allow Steamers to pass through! I am going to have to cut off the bottom and somehow make the legs longer - ~ 6 inches or more. My guess is that it was not designed to sit over track but to have track pass on both sides?????????????
Hopefully came up with a good looking solution. The original problem is shown below. The smoke stack misses by about 1/4 inch
The redesign is next to the kit design. I think it looks cleaner.
The locomotive now has no issues passing underneath
I am going to need to build a suitable base for the elevator now.
