Rocky Point Harbor Tower Number 2 (Set 2).

S&S RR · June 28, 2016, 09:28:10 PM

Here are a few pictures of the documentation George has on the Rocky Point Harbor Tower Number 2. He built it from a story that appeared in Model Railroader many years ago. In his notes you will see a notation that RMC had a similar tower in a 1975 article. George pulled this information out to show us how he uses the model railroading literature to generate ideas for some of the structures on the layout. There were 20 or 30 pages of information in this folder. I post just a few here as an example. George has file cabinets full of this type of research information.
