Looking For Train Yard Tower

Classic Toy Trains Forum

I am building a train yard in O guage and I am looking for a realistic control tower for my train yard. Im lookin for something a little more realistic that the one lionel sells. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

MTH had some kind of tower, done in a mustard colored plastic that looked like corrugated siding… Whether that’s realistic or not depends on the viewer. I thought the corrugations were too big.

Here is an MTH tower

and here is an Atlas one

and a Plastiville that has been painted

MTH has produced Yard Towers for a few different eras.

Do you need an early 20th Century Tower or a Late 20th Century Tower?

What is the time period you prefer?

other than a little vegetation, interior lighting and window shades, the only thing I did was paint and weathering.

This is a real nice structure kit.
