Hi everyone, Here,s a couple of photos of a locomotive water tower ive been making these last few weeks. It is bit like the old american western type, ive made it out of scrap wood i had left over from wiki wold and an old wooden plant bowel i got for 50p at the west kirby boot sale.
I like the counterbalance for the water crane. I hope the water in West Kirby isn't too hard for the boiler! Scaled up water tubes will spoil your performance.

Hi pinz, yes ive used real stone,s in a crate just like they did in the old west. I also used the last little bits of roofing felt left over from the WIKI KIRBY station job. As for the water quality here in west kirby ? i think its hard water? (so ive been told by the local natives). Eh if it blocks up me tubes eh i will tie a brush on a rope and pull it like hell through me tubes OW (painful) bloody trains!!.
