Water tower built finally

General Discussion
#1

The Kittainny Mt. RR finally got its water tower built. It took me a while to complete it, between work and splitting wood for the winter. The tower is completly scratch built. I did not use any plans just looked at other water towers and came up with this. This is my first structure I have ever built. Once I get it on the RR I will get another shot. Anyway here is the finished product. Just cant wait to get it weathered by being outdoors. Oh ya the only thing that is not scratch built is the spout. It is ozark min. Enjoy

That really looks good. What did you use for the roof?

Nice job Shawn.
I am also curious about the roof.

Thanks guys, The roof is tin. I thought about leaving it the dull silver but it looked much better painting it black especially against the colonial red tank. I never built anything like this or even close. I guess for never doing something like this it came out fairly well.
