John, that is a neat looking load. I did not realise it was tires when I first saw it. Nice.

Creechan's Fine Fuels has covered storage bins in an elevated all-metal structure...

I built the roof so that it could be removeable, just in case there was a derailment on the dump-track...

Here's my concrete coaling tower. The routes east of here are fully dieselized so steam only operates westward. Steamers back out of the turntable to be pointed in the correct direction. That means when they return, they also back onto the turntable.

I don't have any better ideas so let's stick with the concrete theme.
