Sanding Tower | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

papa3railOGR Forum Member

I'm hosting the monthly meeting of the local TCA chapter on Sunday May 5 so I've spent the last few weeks trying to finish off some areas of the layout that were close to completion.One of those spots is my passenger platforms.The prototype for these is the Pennsylvania Lines Station that was in my home town of Canton, Ohio.I did employ a bit of Artistic License by adding a service platform between the two passenger platforms.One of the items I had left to add was an MTH sanding tower.To suit my application the tower was going to need some modification but as I began to dismantle it I decided I could make a better looking one from scratch I did salvage the hoses and use them on mine.

The Prototype

My Design

The Build

This is made from brass,aluminum and wood the ladders are from Plastruct.

Nice work as always. The prototype photo looks like something out of a 60's Japanese Sci-Fi Movie . . .
