Thanks for the photos, and for starting the thread!
I have a card kit for a British coaling tower. I was unhappy with the lifting mechanism (rails made from cardboard) and ordered the Tichy mechanism (available separately). I realized that it wasn't the type that lifted an entire coal car to the top of the tower and thought I might modify it (but I haven't touched it yet). Last month I found a picture of a British one that lifts buckets.
(This may be worked on at the Great British Train Show. or may not.)
