Work starts on another high rise building

Yep, before the first one is completed, work has begun on the second high rise block - Southwark Towers. Overall sizes have been considered and design work based on photos and google has been sketched up. On my dining room table you can see some of the rough working drawings including a scale size footprint.

And this afternoon the first of the three wings went up. At 100 metres it's slightly taller than New London Bridge House but as soon as I've got the basic shape completed I'll have a better idea and understanding of how they will fit in. These are the two tallest buildings I need for the new proposed layout - the next tallest one I might possibly need is only 13 storeys and about half the height. However it wasn't built until 1986 and could be too modern for the era I'm trying to represent. Also it may not be required as it might not quite fit in the final plan which needs a little slimming down.

Certainly shows the scale next to that signalling centre! I'm more interested in that track plan in the first photo though. Any chance of a close up? ;)

I wouldn't take any notice of that. It's not really a track plan (there's no points or crossings on it), more a structure relationship plan. :)
