Thanks again Gents for the awesome thread. Something I have been meaning to ask for a while... Is that abandoned switching tower by Bailey's Produce a kit?

Hi Bobby thanks for stopping by the thread.
I don't know about the abandoned tower - I will add it to my list of questions for George the next time I call him. I don't recognize the castings.  Can anyone else help with Bobby's question?

Bobby,

You are very welcome. John and I are glad to have the opportunity to post all the pictures George let us take last March.

To answer your question, yes, the abandoned tower is across the double track mainline  and behind Bailey's Produce.

Bobby,

A little over a third of the way down on page 5 of this thread, John has a couple of great photos showing Bailey's in relation to the abandoned tower.

Hi. I'm trying to find the pictures of the elevated highway that runs over the yard tracks. Short of navigating through all three threads and thousands of pages, I was hoping you could direct me to their approximate location. Many thanks.

p.s. Update. I seemed to have just found some at the end of the Details thread. If there are any other pages that cover this section, I'd appreciate knowing where to find them. Thanks, again.

Each thread has an index on page 1 and there are two areas that fit your description.  Colbert yard and Filmore Yard both have elevated highways.  I hope this helps - thanks for following along.

Hey Bob, Baileys is a real easy scratchbuild. It was the first FSM building I scratchbuilt. And, I know someone that has the plans and instructions if the urge strikes. Don't want to hijack, so will shut up now, except to thank John and Tom for all of the great F&SM pictures and for all of the hard work you're putting into these threads.
