I am modelling Tower 17 interlocking tower at Rosenberg, Texas in N-scale. I don't have any pictures of the model yet but I am planning to model as close as those taken by Wes Carr.

Here is the link to my Rosenberg Meet blog - http://rosenberg-meet.blogspot.com/2009/03/story-behind-rosenberg-meet.html

This is MF Tower on my layout.

The Amtrak train is heading north from the Columbus staging yard to the Cleveland staging yard.  The tower is to the right of the Amtrak F40PH in the pic.  The platforms for the Amtrak station are in the two corners to the left of the train.  At the south (far side of former Pennsy line) is where the active platform will be with the canopies in place.  The near side will just be the bare abandoned platform that will be overgrown.

 I have a wye junction, where the branch to the main yard joins the main.  There's an Atlas signal tower in the middle, plus a section shed I made out of some leftovers from another project.  :

 

IHC signal bridges protect the mainline ends of the wye:

I am planning to add a junction to my layout. I've read a book already on the layouts and have been studying track plans. If anyone has a junction on their layout with a control tower, I'd love to see some pics.
