Model Railroading > Stockton Tower

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.

Try the CSRRM

Of course you could model the modern era. A 'Dozer and a pile of sticks is all it would take! ;-(

No, you're thinking of Redondo (in the not too distant future), ST was concrete so all you need current;y is a concrete foundation.


TCS - broken rubble no doubt

In case you haven't seen these yet, here is a series of shots of the tower's destruction. The last one, in particular, gives a good view of the detail under the roof overhang... helpful for modeling.

You're right, my bad.

"steam shovel" .... LOL


TCS - who you callin' a hoe ?

Yeah... I laughed at that one too. For others unaware, it's called an excavator (with a breaker attachment instead of a bucket).

don't go Imus on us--you know what will happen!

Yuu folks were a lot of help to this guy! 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.

Thanks for that comment Wabash2800 ,I have looked everywhere for
some reference or drawings but so far have drawn a blank ,I
will not give up though.

Not so much as you'd think, the western board would've been the only place I thought of. 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.

here is a cool arial view of the area with the W.P. still intact.

That picture and map are part of my website: http://cencalrails.railfan.net There are 3 pages on my site, the demolition, the tower itself, and interior shots.
