Calling DoctorWayne - About your elevated crossing tower....

Looks like Wayne has abandoned the forum. Maybe Bertram's burned down and he is in mourning.

Rich's link, a thread with some old favorites.  I'm sure the Dr. Wayne scratch build the stairs and landings, along with some kitbashing.  That what he does!  With amazing results.

Atlas also offered a very similar one. I browsed the net and did not find any other ones commercially available. I suspect either a kitbash or a scratchbuild.

ATLANTIC CENTRAL

Could be this one.

Thanks for digging this up, Sheldon. It does have the lower landing and the supports are the same. The stairway seems more lightweight, though. I wonder if Wayne kitbashed it.

Yeah, thanks guys. That's the one. Any clues appreciated as to who makes that one, if indeed it is a commerical product. I like it a lot.

Hope the good doctor is okay.

Could be this one.

It was commercially made, orignally by Revell, and available for many decades under several brands.

They can still be found unassembled and are very well detailed.

Well, maybe Wayne has better things to do than read stuff on his computer. This thread has a picture of it, I think:

Maybe someone can recognize it. Sorry, the system is not allowing me to make the link clickable, on my computer anyway .

Sorry to spam everyone.

Don't worry about spamming us, Matt.  It's always good to hear from Dr. Wayne - and see his stuff.  Even if you have to pry him out of his lair.

Private messaging isn't working, so I'm broadcasting my question... Doc, you once posted some photos of a crossing-guard's elevated tower, with some brick buildings in the background. It strikes me that the cabin part was maybe green or grey. It was not the Atlas model, which has just a ladder, nor the J.L. Innovative kit, which has one long flight of stairs. Yours had a stairway with a landing halfway down. Was that scratchbuilt or did you buy a kit?

Sorry to spam everyone.

Thanks,

-Matt
