SEARAILS is taking orders for a STEAM ERA railside wooden water tower with pump house (SF-14 Water Tower) introduced at the NMRA in Philadelphia. Available now at $39.95 plus $4.05 Priority Mail at http://www.searails.com/structures.html (in the RAIL SERVICES dropdown menu). This two piece model is scale accurate to 0.06" tolerance. The tank fits over a ring on top of the truss supported base. It arrives printed in color, and may be repainted with acrylic paints. Perfect for railside service, the SF-14 Water Tower is 2.18" x 2.18" (40' x 40') and includes a downspout, access ladder, pump house with feed pipe to tower on a base. Individual boards form the tank and are restrained with concentric rings and turnbuckles. The modeler needs to attach a piece of thread to the downspout to represent the "pull rope". The first ten orders receive a free painted service vehicle, painted workman figure, and painted trees and shrubs. Please see photos (the "new product gloss" is removed by the modeler if sprayed with matte clear acrylic).
