Finding unusual structures
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, April 29, 2005 9:01 AM
[8)] I'm searching for an airplane hanger and control tower, circa 1930, for my garden railroad. I'm willing to scratch build these structures but haven't found a good picture to use as an example. Does anyone know where I could find these structures to buy or a picture to copy? Help would be appreciated!!! Thanks!

Have you seen the movie "The Aviator" absolutely full of 1930's aviation stuff as it is the story of "Howard Hughes.
