Wooden coal tower

 This is a relatively small coal tower,  all scratch built.  


This is a front view of the coal tower.  There are two figures on the top deck.  The ladder on the side is a plastic part.  The coal chute is made from wood and cardboard.  The cable hoist on the upper deck moves the chute up and down. 


Above is a view of the left side and you can see the coal dumping grate behind the tower where coal is dumped the be lifted to the tower bin by a chain of buckets inside the shaft at the back of the tower.  


Above is a view of the right side.  There are some small bushes at  the base of the shaft.


Above is a rear view of the tower.  At the bottom of the shaft is a hatch to access the interior of the shaft.
