Just for comparison's sake, here's the yard tower I'll be building.  It's for the Riverdale Yard in Utah and stood from 1947 until the mid 60's.



Cheers!

I have always used to good result the known door height figure (You can often assume that a door is 3 feet wide, too), but I have seen several clinics at the Naperville meets where modelers have taken ordinary yardsticks and painted them to be more visible, and put them in reference photos they took.

The fly in this ointment is trespassing in order to put the yardstick in place...

Hmm... technicalities...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"
