Kelly Sesser was almost identical to Eola. The difference was Sesser had chutes out to both main tracks.

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.
