This is one of those things of where your gas mileage may vary. A typical layout may need a tank/spout for the mainline, tank for the service facilities, tank for the yard, and tank for the branchline. Fuel capacity to water refill figures I've heard have been from 1-1 to as much as 1-8 depending on the engine and application. <br />HighIron mentioned Strausburg filling for everytrip. If he is relating this to the rail museum then this is usual for museums, parks and other rails for tourist service. They've found it's a cheap crowd pleaser for their audience to watch water tank duties and boiler blow down. <br />Refill from trough was used by a few railroads with PRR and LNER being the better rememberd. LNER had the Royal Scotsman use these to make its premium passenger run.
