The Feb. 2011 issue of MR is one that remains in the reading rack in the "reading room", and as I was "reading" this morning, a photo on page 39 of that issue really caught my eye. It is a tower on Bob Seckler's D & H layout. I have looked at that tower several times, and being a Santa Fe modeler, I am used to Santa Fe towers, but that D&H tower really appeals to my eyes. I am curious about the interior arrangement. I am assuming entery through the door with the little enclosed area, but then the photo shows the building takes an angeled rise to support the second story.
I am assuming there was (is) a staircase along the wall that goes to the second story at the back, but why the angled wall(s). Why not just a two story structure. I am guessing there is some sort of reason, just curious what it is? And yes, I do like it.
