Water tower built
Posted by SNOWSHOE on Friday, September 12, 2008 5:05 PM

The Kittainny Mt. RR finally got its water tower built.  It took me a while to complete it, between work and splitting wood for the winter.  The tower is completly scratch built.  I did not use any plans just looked at other water towers and came up with this.  This is my first structure I have ever built.  Once I get it on the RR I will get another shot.  Anyway here is the finished product.  Just cant wait to get it weathered by being outdoors.  Oh ya the only thing that is not scratch built is the spout.  It is ozark min.  Enjoy
