Plan is to load tower on trailer today and will be on its way to Utah if it survives the dismantling.

Re: Nova Tower
Heber Valley Railroad in Heber City, Utah acquired it for a tower restoration project they are undertaking. Nova Tower is not being moved to Utah for reconstruction or restoration, but is being basically stripped for usable parts.

Re: Nova Tower
They should be able to salvage the model board and possibly parts of the interlocking machine, but beyond that the tower is firewood.

Re: Nova Tower
Sooooo, did it end up going to Utah? IMO, it should end up somewhere it will be appreciated, like Murrion.cbehr91 wrote:They should be able to salvage the model board

Re: Nova Tower
My brother was showing me pics of piles of lumber and a tower base he took. I think they just tore down the tower and didn't save it.

Re: Nova Tower
They were never saving the tower. They were taking the model board and interlocking machine out for parts.
Bottom text.
Re: Nova Tower
No one has said they were taking the model board. I have a call out to try and find where it ended up.

Re: Nova Tower
Another group *was* trying to save the tower complete (for the last couple years) - though they obviously failed. From what little I paid attention to that I believe that effort failed due to lack of funds.Y@ wrote:They were never saving the tower.
