Watchman's Tower is complete in Elevation according to the original drawings. But looking back at similar structures in train yards and depot heads, the upper level seems to be taller than the old magazine article depicts. So - round 2 will be a reconstruction to standard balloon framing and more typical construction principles to see if I can get it to be more prototypical, and yet be conducive to rescaling in 1:29 scale for modeler ease of use.

You're just having too much fun! Last night I posted the photo of you and I in the Portland Train station. That was such a difficult reunion. I was on my way home and you were just arriving. I cried all the way to the airport. We just can't let the years pass and pass without visiting each other.
