[CBQ] Review of Golden Gate Depot Ogle Wood Coal Tower

["cbq_bill" <cbq_bill@sbcglobal.net>]

FYI only. I am not a dealor, vendor, or manufacturer.  Just 
generating discussion of CB&Q O-gauge models.

I almost forgot.  The Golden Gate Depot (on 3RD Rail/Sunset's 
website) has offered a pre-built model of an Ogle 100 ton wooden 
frame coaling tower in plastic.  It is offered in black and in 
brown.  The website photo is brown and looks very Q to me, although 
I could not find any exact match in the BR/CB&Q books.  The base is 
9" x 6" with a height of 22" (36' x 24' x 88' in O-scale).  It is 
made of plastic.  MSRP is $170 + $30 s/h.  

Although I would love to have one of these, maybe I should actually 
build the Bachman wood coal tower and Lionel concrete coal tower 
kits that I already have.  While I am at it, maybe building a layout 
first would be a good idea.  I tend to put the train (and kits, 
layout, finishing the basement, etc) in front of the locomotive.  

Enjoy.
