Hello again Thanks a lot for your answers. I learned (once again) that I should be a bit more precise sometimes. So let me try: The tower will stand in a warm-climate, prairie-like environment. Must certainly somewhere in the south, but it is not possible to say where, because if I'll include this diorama in some kind of layout, I'm sure it will be something freelanced (though my prefered prototype is the FEC, which, geographically seen, actually is in the south from a german's point of view). It should be a simple construction, perhaps even with no roof. It is situated on an old branchline, looking some kind of shady. I'm sure to build it myself, because lasercut wooden kits are very expensive for me. In fact wood for scratchbuild is not. And if the first try won't do I'll just throw it away, burn it in the chimney, or even sel it on ebay :-). And I've got another question: I want to build a tank with an open roof, so what is the interior of the water tower like, is it just the planks in there, or do railroads use any water rejecting materials on the inside for keeping the wood from rotting to fast? So again thanks for your answers so far. Maybe I'll have a photographie some day to show my results. Yours Matthias
