Water Towers

The show has had its share of water towers, being about steam engines and all.

TYPE A


Type A is a square tower. Hornby made this for its Thomas range, but like all its other Thomas themed buildings, is discontinued.

Like most of the Hornby Thomas buildings, they appear on eBay occasionally, or are still dotted around various stores.

The Dapol water tower kit isn't a far stretch.

March 2015 edit:
Bachmann announced they are making their own variation of the square water towers. No official picture of the kit has been released yet.
 


TYPE B


This version is slimmer and a more familiar water column shape. In Seasons 1-3, it wasn't as slim but still tall with the same shape.

The PECO water tower kit is cheap, easy to assemble, and a pretty close bet.

Bachmann announced they are making their own variation of the round water towers. No official picture of the kit has been released yet.
