Waaaaay back in the dark ages of the 1990s, Bachmann decided their brand new battery powered large scale train set needed a building or two. So they took the old 1/48 Plasticville coaling tower kit and changed the 'O' to a 'G' on the instructions........ Better than nothing -- but not by much.
I had one, from the original set. It sat on a shelf for YEARS. Eventually I put it on stilts and stuck it in the garden when I built the first AV 10 years ago.
Then, sometime during the big D, it just disappeared....
When we drained the old pond to move it last spring we found some broken parts of it. All I can guess is it must have got clobbered by a playground ball or something?
I came across the bits today while looking for something else. Sooooooooooo, I ended up sidetracked all afternoon.......
With a few more odd bits and some paint, it might just work. At least it isn't so obviously O-scale anymore!
