I am sorry I missed this topic until now. Wow! That is a fantastic job on the wonderful coal tower, Alan!
Alan, that is really, really nice! What a great job! 
Alan, you are truly a master.

Alan, the result is truly spectacular!! Your scratch-building skill and talent is outstanding. Thanks for sharing, it's very inspiring to see.
I can see why the owner chose this prototype, it's a very unique structure.... I can't say I have ever seen a coaling tower like this, but then again, I don't find myself doing many searches for UP and Western RR prototypes. Probably need to broaden my "horizons"....
Alan,
You are truly a master craftsmen.
Yeah man!!!!
Alan, great job, love the detail.
Don't know what I envy most, your superb modeling skills or the size of your work area...... maybe both!
Thanks for posting.
Alan. Wow. Thank you for sharing.
Andy
Spectacular, Alan......you are an inspiration to us all!
Peter

Thank you again everyone. Glad you enjoyed this. Happy Thanksgiving
IMHO, this is worthy of an article in CTT or OGRR magazine.
Incredibly well done. Thank you for sharing!
