Huw,
You did a beautiful job of modeling this structure. I've been wanting
to do one for a very long time now. I live in an area with lots of steel
mills so I've grown up seeing these types of structures and always thought
they'd make great models to add some everyday realism to train layouts.
Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing. I think seeing creations like
this helps to fuel the creative fires in all of us, at least it does for me!
