Hi!
I'm not sure if I'm using the correct steam-era lingo, but has anyone successfully constructed an authentic looking water tower? How about a coal tower? I'd like a place for my 4-4-0 to stop for refueling. I've looked at various pictures of water and coal towers in Model Railroader, but I've had a hard time figuring out how to build them with LEGO bricks. The rounded nature of the water towers present a bit of a design challenge.
Anyway, I thought someone might have tried a project such as this before. My idea for a coal tower includes some kind of motorized feature, where coal would be dumped into my tender.
For pictures of the 4-4-0 and my budget retrostation, be sure to visit my home page! (http://users.codenet.net/steveb/index.htm).
Thanks,
Steve
