coaling towers

[NW Modeling List]

Ken:
 
The N&W Historical Society has drawings of the coaling station in  Bluefield 
in its Archives collection.  You can reach me at: _gillum at nwhs.org_ 
(mailto:gillum at nwhs.org)  for details on how to acquire  copies.

I am  looking for the dimensions of the coaling towers that N&W used, 
especially  like the one in Bluefield, VA, or a similar one as in other yards. I have 
 plenty of good photos of the remains of several coaling towers, including 
the  Bluefield one,  and want to model one in HO scale. Tichy has the coaling  
tower lift mechanism and also the Fairbanks Morse coal chutes, so all I need  
to know is the diameter of the round section and the heights of the various  
assemblage. I also need to know if the hoist pits were origonally covered with  
a shelter of some sort. Was the coal suppy track elevated or on the same level 
 as the engine tracks? If anyone has built one of these coaling giants any 
data  you can supply would be extremely helpful. 

Thanks,

Ken  McWilliams
