I too would like some plans or diagrams of a coal tower and chute. I would
like to build one like the one at Sesser, there is a picture in Mr Mitchell´s
wonderful book, but it is far far back in the back for me to see any detail.
There are several coal towers in Z scale but unfortunately most are concrete
types.
Thanks
Kelley Wright.
