Thanks for all of the information.
To answer Dennis' question, I am building the Campbells Coal Tower, which was created from the Durango and Chama tipples. As well, I do have plans that I had copied from the CRRM, so if I need to research some plans as well, I will do that. I probably should have tried to scratch build this amazing structure, but had a lot of questions concerning it so I took the easy way out. hehehehehe
Earl and Danno - Thanks for the color info as well. I kinda figured that it was that color. From what I saw in the books it looked like it was that color but VERY heavily coated with dust/cinders from the coal.
I'll try to give you guys some update photos (sans the camera thing. hehehehe. Our club meeting was cancelled last night due to the snow, so I will have to wait until next month to show it off).
Thanks again
Craig
