Collinwood Coaling Tower

This is the old Coaling Tower that is down at Collinwood yards in Cleveland.

John (csxt30) and I went down after the toy show and took these pics.

Collinwood was one of the largest yards in the mid-west.

I think that could be built like my other one I have started. In other words, using the same building techniques. I like baltic birch, 1/8 inch ply. Just a thought.

I think it would be great for someone with a big big layout, as it spans about 6 tracks, I think !

Nice pictures, Tom.

I can remember that tower, but it's been years.

John, you could do it. Go for it.
