    In my next Train Sim Classic adventure I'm planning on making a steam era concrete coaling tower. Well, the model is made, below is a Blender render of the tower. I'm just introducing it to this train sim. This is a close replica of the coaling tower that sits in the former Coxton Yards in Pittston, PA. Oddly enough, there are more reference pictures of this structure on line then of the roundhouse that I just completed. This is why there is a lot of detail added to this tower.

    The trick now is to get it working inside TSC. I started by doing basic searches on how to create this as a fuel point. I take it I need to dig a little harder, because I'm not finding very much info on that topic. There are plenty of examples out there of a working coal towers, so there must be information about it some place.

    So I'm asking the TSC community...Can somebody point me to some good information about making a fuel point? Or, is there other work arounds to get this functional?
    Looking forward to hearing some input on this topic.

    I just made a scenery model and then copied from an existing one and adjusted the parameters IIRC. You will need to adjust the marker of delivery and the flow rate but the parms were obvious-ish. Good luck
