Here are the pictures from the magazines which are the inspiration for the yard office/tower/freight dock. This structure is
placed in the mountain freight yard, using an old-time passenger combine car and a boxcar together end-to-end inspired by a two-boxcar side-by-side build in a magazine article. The yard tower is built into the combine and boxcar. These pictures are from Model Railroader November and December 1958 and represent an article by Jack Work and a build by Jack Leming based on another article by Jack Work, and a picture in the January 2012 Model Railroader showing a building with a tower integrated into a trackside (literally) building by a modeller named Dan Cole from Tennessee. 
Here are pictures of the process of the build. This yard office build was part of an online community's friendly contest, a
friendly challenge among a group of very fine and very talented modellers, at the beginning of 2014. 
 
 
 
Here are pictures of the final build, which will be combined with the mine on the layout. Once it is on the layout there will be pictures in the Structures section.
