I am assembling a Walthers Concrete Coaling Tower kit and I can't help but notice that the ladders do not have safety cages on them. I'm modeling the late Sixties-early Seventies period, when steam power was no longer used, but many of these concrete towers were still left standing. I know that back in the steam days, safety wasn't as strongly emphasized as it is in modern times. But I would have thought safety cages were a basic item on the ladders of every tall post-WWII structure.
What I'm really trying to figure out is: Can I use the Walthers coal tower kit "as-is" for an abandoned structure in my 1:87 diesel-era loco terminal without it looking unbelievable?
