The Model:
This model is based on a Baltimore & Ohio prototype. Pump houses were a fixture in rail yards, industrial sites, and as town water supplies from the mid 1800's through today. Changing the roof ridge detail and smokestack style would allow the model to be used for many other railroads and scenery locations. Once the need for steam pumping was no longer require, many of these buildings were converted to electric drive pumps, or other uses including storage or offices.
