Three views of the nuclear cooling tower. This started as a dare after
I picked up a NOS glow-in-the-dark hopper load. The paint took to the
glass rather well, as I was worried it would not. I am going to try to find
a nuclear atomic symbol to finish it up, a little.
And to beat the peanut gallery to the punch: yes, that would be Mt. Hatch
up there. Sorry to threepeat, it helps keep me distracted.

Hey, Chops, I see a grandstand/bleachers in the far background - got a racetrack or ballfield back there?
My BOTW for TF is this old cottage type church, by Faller I think, purchased ( and finally paid for, whew! ) awhile back. Other than straightening out the bell, I think it's in decent shape, although needs some cleaning.

I salvaged some parts from a destroyed freezee building. I was wondering why the sign had that weird dimple in it. Ice cream cone! 
Chops, that looks like a believable cooling tower. Nicely done!

I don't know whethe that's supposed to be a church, cottage, or schoolhouse, but it sure looks to me that the manufacturer just took a depot kit and added a bell tower and a differrent base. Of cours, this was done a lot by manufacturers back then. Ever compares the atlas depot kit to the Atlas restaurant? ;)

No, no bleachers or grandstand. I looked and looked
and perhaps it is a piece of a Clementine loader
lying on its side.
I do hope to put in a cricket pitch on my OO layout,
however, and that it would need a bleachers is a
good reminder.
