Model Railroading > Stockton TowerDate: 05/16/07 06:46 Stockton Tower Author: trainman502 Does anyone know where I can find a set of drawings for the Stockton Tower?
as I am keen on modelling it. Thanks for any help. Brian Date: 05/16/07 09:10 Re: Stockton Tower Author: czuleget Try the CSRRM

The last one, in particular, gives a good view of the detail under the roof overhang... helpful for modeling.

Date: 05/16/07 22:18 Re: Stockton Tower Author: mwbridgwater Yeah... I laughed at that one too. For others unaware, it's called an excavator (with a breaker attachment instead of a bucket).

I did go to the model train index but didn't find anything. It would seem the model press would have had something on this tower/location at one time or another.

In terms of modeling only the location made it interesting, beyond that it was a fairly unpretty box. TCS - your opinion may vary with mileage and frequent flyer points.
