<div dir="ltr">I am currently building a Gloor
Craft (1980's vintage) N scale coaling tower. As this is not
N&W specific, I assume I cannot enter the modeling contest at a
convention. That said, all the photos I have seen all appear
radically different; therefore, if there is a book or resource of
all of the N&W/Southern towers/tipples, perhaps the Gloor Craft
model might be a close approximation of one.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Assuming not, I would like to
model a tower of a N&W or Southern prototype
tipple/tower. Digging around the archives, I found little
that could help me. I obtained an old Model Railroader booklet on
coal, however once again with the exception of a few photos, not
much use.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Could you gentlemen point me in
the right direction? As this is in N scale, I am hoping I can find
something not too detailed (but detailed enough). Am I on a fool's
