the film "The Train", a signal tower, or switch tower?

Hello CAREY TEARROSE...

Love that movie with Burt !!!!!!  but I think it is a switch tower as I seen one of the Nazis pulling down a throttle handle down thus seeing the turnout change.

The tower controlled both signals and points/turnouts, so it could be referred to by either term, or it could be referred to as an interlocking tower, I suppose. 

The neat scenes of Burt pouring a new babbet  bearing on the main rod is neat. Another good train flick is the Hurricaine express with John Wayne with some great roundhouse scenes early on

I've watched this scene (Scene 7 on the DVD version) a couple of times, and the 438  Signal Tower is probably best, but needs a big window on one side-maybe Tom and I can kitbash??

I also need a 440N double Signal Bridge and second mainline...

I was at an airshow this past weekend with my WW2 Jeep supporting my living history group's display. There's usually a vendor selling models and such and he was there this year.

He had a Hobby Master Navy Stearman in 1.48 scale and only wanted $40 for it, new in the box (couldn't get that good deal anywhere on eBay, even without postage). Better still, it was in markings for 1943, the year my layout takes place:

Now, there's NO place to set it as if it's going to fly out. I've long toyed around with the idea of having a trainer plane belly-landed on the layout and I have a couple of spots I could do that at. I'd have yank the landing gear off and bend the props back (and probably hit the engine with a lot of excess 'oil') as those things would happen on a fixed-gear plane like that.

Or, as I despise whimsy on a layout, I might do nothing with it. At least I have a model that would look right for the layout and I can ponder what (if anything) to do with it as long as I want to.

So, anyway, it was a nice thing to find while I made the world safe for shave ice people:

So sorry, but what does this post have to do with my topic?  Did you post this in the wrong place, perhaps?

I do not think I can delete it for you.
