KS 85 Tower

Layouts and dioramas need something that breaks the horizontal. After rows of low roofs, flat fields and level track, the eye wants somewhere to climb, and a tower is the traditional answer. This one is a narrow stacked-storey structure with regular window openings running up its height and a defined cap at the top, the sort of civic landmark that sits at the centre of a small town and tells you where the square is. It works across eras, since a tower reads as old almost by default and sits comfortably behind terraced housing or across the way from a station building. Scenic modellers will get most from it as a backdrop piece, with the upper storeys standing clear above everything else on the board. Supplied as a single file for anyone assembling a townscape rather than a single scene.
