Some NEW model railroad and Club news.

I have been finishing the water tank I started a couple of years ago.  I started with a small, 4" diameter peanut can, wrapped it with scribed card material and secured that with 11 bands of .020" wire with 2 twisted "turnbuckles" each.  The support legs are hefty to support the estimated 500,000 pound load of the 60,000 gallons and tank.




The 8 sided roof is covered with hand cut shingle strips.



I still have to attach the spout, ladder and top finial.
