First off thanks to Pete (Sumpter250) for giving me some valuable info to get this project started.
I'm avoiding other work on the layout...I dunno why...I just am.
So, I started work on a Wood Sand Tower based on the prototype used by Canadian Pacific.
The first component I have started on is the Wet Sand Bin.

Sorry, no work in progress shots. I just got going on this tonight on a whim. Tomorrow I might get moving on the building and then on to the tower as the days move on.
The steel rods are from Tortoise Machines. I use a heavier gauge piano wire to throw my turnouts, so these thinner stock ones fit the bill nicely.
