pennsyk4. Great job! I've done the same radio tower like yours. A lot of precision soldering, but with a jig, soldering paste, rosin core solder, and a good iron, it is a lot of fun. For the aircraft light on top, I took a Christmas tree tiny light set, used a red bulb, put it on top of the tower, and in series with a resistor and the flasher bulb under the layout. The bulb does the prototype ramping up to brightness and going out, not just blinking on and off. I don't remember the resistance, but it works with the layout lighting circuit.
