The Scoop:
IMHO, one of, if not, the most beautiful structures designed by man.
There are well over 50 replicas of the Eiffel Tower around the world, some are accurate copies, while others take a little liberty in their interpretation. In whatever case, there are probably more copies of the Eiffel tower than any other man made structure.

I believe I am breaking French law by posting these pictures..... Why? Because art is copyrighted in France, and the light shows are considered art.

what it looked like before I cleaned it up
What if? A nice steam-punk version :-) I love it!If you want to make your own copy of the Eiffel Tower, you can start off with the drawing below. I took one of the above drawings and imported it into Corel Draw, then scaled a ruler to the dimensions on the drawing until they matched, and used the result to measure everything with. They should be pretty accurate for the most part. Most of the above drawings have 129.4m (409.6ft) as the width of the base, but that is over the concrete footings - not the actual base of the tower.
Disclaimers:
I love trains, and I love signals. I am not an expert. My webpages reflect what I find on the topic of the page. This is something I have fun with while trying to help others.
Please Note: Since the main focus of my two websites is railroad signals, the railfan guides are oriented towards the signal fan being able to locate them. For those of you into the modeling aspect of our hobby, my indexa page has a list of almost everything railroad oriented I can think of to provide you with at least a few pictures to help you detail your pike.
If this is a railfan page, every effort has been made to make sure that the information contained on this map and in this railfan guide is correct. Once in a while, an error may creep in :-)
My philosophy: Pictures and maps are worth a thousand words, especially for railfanning. Text descriptions only get you so far, especially if you get lost or disoriented. Take along good maps.... a GPS is OK to get somewhere, but maps are still better if you get lost! I belong to AAA, which allows you to get local maps for free when you visit the local branches. ADC puts out a nice series of county maps for the Washington DC area, but their state maps do not have the railroads on them. If you can find em, I like the National Geographic map book of the U.S..... good, clear, and concise graphics, and they do a really good job of showing you where tourist type attractions are, although they too lack the railroads. Other notes about specific areas will show up on that page if known.
Aerial shots were taken from either Google or Bing Maps as noted. Screen captures are made with Snagit, a Techsmith product... a great tool if you have never used it!
By the way, floobydust is a term I picked up 30-40 years ago from a National Semiconductor data book, and means miscellaneous and/or other stuff.
Pictures and additional information is always needed if anyone feels inclined to take 'em, send 'em, and share 'em, or if you have something to add or correct.... credit is always given! Please be NICE!!! Contact info is here
