Thanks for your responses! I've been studying the instructions and parts and agree that building this kit should be pretty straightforward. I can't remember where I saw the mentioned build review but it had several tips and recommendations that sounded rather helpful at the time. Maybe I should write my own build review.

I looked-up Tichy's kit #7019 and didn't see anything difficult about building it - looks pretty straightforward to me. Tichy's instructions are usually pretty comprehensive, so following them should yield good results.

I didn't do your Tichy kit. This is an Atlas kit I picked up at a train show. This is "as is". Too much plastic gloss. The spout was missing.
OK, Water tank is painted with a rattle can of flat dull green to kill the plastic gloss. It's a Canadian prototype, the brick lower house is to keep the water pipes from freezing in a Canadian winter. I added a couple of fuel drums for the stove. They lightening arrestor is a bead from the craft section at Walmart. The tank bands are brush painted grimy black.
I kept the worker in blue overalls. The pulleys to raise and lower the spout are punched out of sheet styrene with a hardware store leather punch. The brick is too bright, I should have dulled it down with DullCote or something.

Maybe one of these? I do a google "site: cs.trains.com (your subject)". But I don't think I see what you want that way, either.

I have just purchased one of the Tichy Train Group Small Water Tank Kit #7019 and I'm anxious to get started. However, I recently read a review of this kit that included several cautions, tips and recommendations to use when assembling this kit. Of course, I can't seem to find this review again. I have tried different permutations of the kit name in the "Search the Community" box but the closest I have come is a discussion of installing the guy wires on the larger Steel Water Tank Kit #7012. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
