Crossing Tower

Started fabrication of a crossing tower while visiting SIL in Lakeland, FL:







Was not pleased with the look of the "white side" of the stairway/deck support pieces so used Word to rotate the image and printed on copy paper to avoid thickness. That helped.  And allowed the crossing tower to be finished.  Then decided that cardstock supports were too flimsy.  Cut plastic "6X6" to fit and added a little color.

That seemed to help the situation.

Granddaughter had helped with 6X6's and chose placement on layout.  Not permanent at this time since the section needs more scenicking:




Confirmed that Rock Hill had crossing tower -- Sanborn Insurance maps and picture document "Watchman Ho" on White and Black Streets but have only found photo for Main Street!
