An elevated water tank of this nature is normally placed next to a steel coke quench tower to douse burning coke with a measured amount of water. It is usually designed to be 'bolted' to the concrete structure. This particular tower is designed as a standalone structure so it can be used in a variety of situations such a quench/fire tower for a grain silo as pictured above or as a water/liquid reservoir for a factory building. The footprint for this tower is 4 in x 4 in x 10 ½ in (h). The standard color is dark gray however other options are light gray, white and black. See our OnLine Store for more pictures and pricing.
This water tower design is longer than the standard product measuring approximately 14 inches to the top platform base. The tank is shorter and shaped differently. It is approximately 3 inches tall with a hemispherical bottom and a cone top. Total height is roughly 16 inches. The normal design incorporates a black tank and a dark gray superstructure without decals or it can be ordered with one of several railroad/industrial names. The water tower base footprint is approximately 4 1/4 inches square. The top platform is approximately 3 1/2 inches square. If you desire a different color tank or superstructure please contact us by phone or email.
The tank, piping and caged ladder network are shipped unattached.
The O Scale general purpose fueling tower would look great as part of a locomotive service yard storing water or fuel or even in an industrial yard as a water tower.

The design for this sand tower is different from the tall skinny versions normally sold. This design offers a more substantial solid looking structure. It was made to fit over track and have the locomotive pass through it on its way out of the service yard. The tower stands about 7 ¾ inches high. There is about 6 inches of clearance to the bottom of the sanding chute. The tower is 3 inches by 4 ¾ inches at the base.
