A necessary structure for steam engines
You can spend more for a fancy kit and spend time assembling little sticks, but I wanted to start somewhere fast. So I bought this built up by Bachmann. From a distance (and who is going to closely inspect your coaling tower) this unit looks just like the high priced spread. The only thing lacking was a little paint work on the two all blue figures and I was happy. I'll spend my time and money on more interesting features of my railroad.
blue man group did a good job
nice coaling station looks great will get another when i get more track laid down the blue guys i think makes it more interesting
Realistic Tower
The Coaling Station tower was exactly as pictured, I will be adding woodland scenic led lighting (goose-neck) and weathering roof.
