Tomytec 1/150th Cooling Towers

I was hesitant to purchase this kit since it is slightly bigger than N scale (1/160th), but I had to have these at the plant.  The Leaf River Plant has a set of cooling towers and most big scale operations (to include the military hospital on my base) have these towers.  They are huge in real life - so this kit was fitting.

I made some modifications --

• I built my own concrete base with safety railing
• Added some piping
• Changed the height of the railing by clipping off a segment on each piece - (1/150th) railing is an eye sore in N scale
• Built a custom crossover bridge between towers; needed due to piping that runs over the unit
• Added a 1/160th ladder and used the 1/150th ladder to make a safety cage
• Custom weathered & painted

Here are the results and the location at the mill:

I recently placed them in this location; the base is glued in place.  I found the toughest thing with this plant is where to put everything!  I am finally at the point that I am just going for it...no more hesitating!
