HO Scale Bar Mills Water Tower At Cranberry Yard 282

Two versions of this classic water tower help it to work on larger scenes where structures aren’t always duplicated but serve the same purposes with slightly different approaches. This one was designed for branch-line or narrow gauge scenes and is ideal for small city, town, and rural settings, as well as smaller engine facilities. The most difficult part of this type of model has traditionally been handcrafting the stone base and building the cylindrical water tower itself, but in this case, they come as solid resin castings made by hand-built masters. The secret to these is more in the application of paint and color than in the actual construction of the kits. Any kind of additional detailing can be added to the side shed, making it a foreground “contest level” model.
