Anyone have any photos/links showing the other end of these "pipes", in fact
the whole shootin' match with the raised pedestals they were supported on,
expansion joints(?), connections near and to the turnounts? I'd like to model
them on the layout someday and have no reference photos to go by. Any help
would be appreciated on this.
