Perhaps that's their way of keeping the cost down and making the kit easier to assemble. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The Campbell coal tower that I assembled quite some time ago included the pit in which the coal would be dropped from a hopper car on an adjacent track. It also included a vertical bucket conveyor that would bring coal from the pit to the top of the tower. Their tower is a model of the existing coal tower in Chama, New Mexico on the Cumbres & Toltec Railroad. The kit is still available I beleive. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
