MIcronart coaling tower was created by Kelley
Now that I found out my town had a coaling tower that looks just like the one from Micronart, I see they are all sold out, and their website has a big DO NOT ORDER sign on that model. Anyone know where I can get one ?? What is it that Robert Ray always says??

I found one in Germany. Someone sent me a message, to email the shop direct and not though the website. I did that and got a nice email saying Yes, we have one! A few minutes later I got another email saying, sorry, it just got sold. OF course this is after it was posted that they were not going to make anymore and there was only one left.
So thank you, whoever bought it, I hope you enjoy your new toy and I will probably see it on Ebay , but you can believe I will not be bidding on it.

Kelley, did you say you were looking for a Micron Art Z scale brass Coaling Station with a part number Z1003? :)

I kind of was but I am so mad at this point I would almost make it from scratch just to spite whoever bought the thing. Was it legal for them to buy? Of course. Was it fair? Sure, they paid the money first and therefor got it first. Do I still think they are a (/?=$&"€Ö*+ ??? I sure do, and they know it too.But unless they brag about it, only they and the shop knows who bought it, and I dont think either one will spill the beans. Z is a small world, US Z in Germany is even smaller, so I am sure I will run into the )(&/%$$&*+~ who bought it. And unless he plays with it in his basement from now on, everyone else will notice when one of those things pops up on someones module.

Kelly, I know your present situation may preclude such things, but with your considerable skills you could build one out of styrene in about 10 hours. Jim

Thanks Jim I appreciate that. I probably could scratch build one, the thing is nothing but a pile of sticks in real life. What would be tricky is the small fumbly parts and the coal chute itself.
the only picture I have of the one back home is waaaaay in the back of a picture, behind a coal train. I am scouring the net looking for similar F-M coaling towers. Same goes with the water tank. It´s up close but hidden by the engine. 20,000 gallon not 50,000.
