"Fine Scale Miniatures" kit #145 Coal Tower - Ensign - 07-28-2026
Hi everyone, I've been working on another FSM's kit that I had for years, and finally got around to building it.
Kit # 145 the coal tower, that is based on a real Canadian National coaling tower that was found in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
This kit represents a smaller version in overall size than the tower it was based on.
However I think it still captures the look of the prototype that it was based on.
This kit also included a sand storage & machinery shed.
I added some LED lighting to my build of this tower, so here is how it came out looking.
