Hi all
Has anyone seen pre production photos of the Superquick Coaling Tower

I for one would be very interested in building such a model if its ever released.
I like the Metcalfe one but unfortunately I doubt if I have room to allow for the track to be inclined up to the higher level.

Hi all
Superquick do have a web site at Superquick

But nothing re Coaling Stage/Tower shown
But will get a cat in post

Hi all
It appears the excellent Townstreet range is to be extended to include a 4mm (00) coaling tower. According to the review in November's Model Rail the "00" 4mm scale tower is a 1930's style side elevation concrete coaling tower (£69.50). For the 7mm (0) gauge modeller there is a wooden coaling stage at £79.00. Both items will need P & P added These are due for release in November '06.

I wait with baited breath and wallet in hand

QUOTE You've got Novembers issue already! I went to the newsagent at the weekend and we're still on Augusts.
Yeap.. Came throught in the post later part of last week.

QUOTE Have to look out for the coaling tower. I love Townstreet stuff.
Me too

QUOTE By the way, I saw the Townstreet coaling tower at Warley. It looks very nice. I think the price was in the £60s.
It's actually £69.50 plus p & p in "00". It looks from the adverts in the model mags a really great CS.
From your view of it at Warley Dave, roughly how tall is it??

Hi John & David
Thanks for the phone number for Townstreet.
Just called them and they confirm the CS size to be:-
High 242mm (9 1/2"); Length 139 (5 1/2"); Wide 150mm (6") Width has to have added the need to include one track on the loading side beyond the 150mm base size.
Its a twin track Coaling Stage underneath with twin hoppers! The kit has a cast resin hoist and some brass fitting too.
Now, do I ordered one??? Tapes out measuring space!
Cheers
