It might help if you explain what the problem is with the tower.

I have one. Like it. Only thing is its tough finding bulbs that get hot enough to make it bubble and not burn out. I found 18v work good. But again, not easy to find. At least in my neck of the woods.

I have one too. It was on the layout for a few years. Odd thing about mine is that the original bulb had no markings on it, and the instruction sheet had no info as to what bulb they recommended to use with it. I know the bulb would depend on the voltage you send to it, but it seemed odd to me.

 

It was on the layout until I found an American Flyer checkerboard water tower to replace it.

rrlineman: Michael6268: jwse30:

There was no problem. I had a chance to get one but didn't know anything about its operation or anyone's experience with it.

After a week or so with no responses to the post, I passed on the offer. (It was gone by then anyway)

Thanks for your replies. Appreciate it.
