Well, well, well now, as Lt. Joe Kenda would say, look at what we have here. Harry has been transforming the beautiful GGD Coaling Tower for some time. He is now up to his 7th additon, each one more beautiful than the one before.
He sent me photos yesterday of the latest version and I was just blown away by it. I immediately called him and asked Harry to fill me in how this version came about. Just about all of Harry's creations are custom orders, but this one, he wanted something special to take to the York Meet and seel there.
Here are some of the highlights. The attached shed is available seperately as well as the base the Tower fits into. Notice the bullet holes in the top windows. Look at the beautiful appkication of the NBW's (nuts, bolts & washers), there are over 350 of them. The pulley's are pretty special as well.
What do you think about this model?

Looks more like a work of art than a model.

That is visually stunning and I agree a work of art in its own right.

WOW! Whoever gets it, will be a lucky Model Railroader. That is truly a work of art.

Look at the size of this beautiful work. Little to big for my layout but it is a gem.

A golden touch for sure!!! Absolutely magnificent level of detail and weathering. Doesn't even look like the original coaling tower anymore. It's a night-and-day difference.

Stunning coal tower! I picked up a set of the tower base when Harry first came out with them a few years ago. They really finish off nicely even an out of the box GGD tower.

Question Brian... where did Harry get the attaching shed? Is that scratch built?
