Hi All
Well first off Im a Newbie !!..Ive been reading through the forums and getting up to speed I hope.
What id like to know is the water tower that im currently building is 3 inches in Diameter.To me it seems to big,yet ive seen pics model and real that suggest its not.As you can see my Diarama is just in the beginning stages with lots more to do,building finished painted and weathered,more trees,grass...u get the idea lol..Uve all been there.My setup is based around 1930's ISH! and is HO.
Thanks for any comments

Hi David,
Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, you made your way to the Garden Railways forum but we are a friendly bunch and many of us work or have worked in smaller scales. You may want to post future questions over in the Model Railroader forums.
To answer your question, 3 inches is a very good size for a wood mainline water tank. It scales out to about 22 feet which is very close to this 24 foot C&NW tank.
more info on it here - http://www.cwrr.com/Drawings/cnw-16070/cnw-16070-5-2.shtml
