| BAY-WINDOW BRICK TOWER |
Interlocking tower was introduced by the Pennsylvania Railroad in the early half of the 20th Century as a modern architectural marvel compared to wooden towers. A classic example of Pennsy architecture, it embraces the highlights of flemish-bond brickwork, copper flashing, and ornamental brick coins. While some towers have regrettably been destroyed, examples of this style of tower have outlasted the PRR, PC, CR and are still surviving during today's era of Amtrak, Norfolk Southern, and CSX Transportation. Remaining examples can still be found in service along the old Main Line electrified territory of Amtrak's Keystone Service Corridor. Others remain as a shadow of themselves rotting away unknown to today's traveler. Mount Vernon Shops has produced this tower kit to guard your interlocking 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, its service never ending for your railroad. |

Some notes on the tower:
It is manufactured out of clear 1/16" and 1/32" thick acrylic sheets. This is a modern,
high-tech equivilent of the wood craftsmen kits of yesteryear. This kit is not for the beginner.
Assembling the kit is similar to assembling a resin structure or piece of rollng stock. This kit is
priced high because of the special engraving of the flemish-bond brickwork. This brick brick
pattern is not availible for an model railroad structure anywhere else.
