Description

This thing is a model of a railroad water tower that was used to supply water for steam locomotives (circa 1850's to 1950's). This design is based on pictures on the internet and does not model a specific water tower. This water tower is roughly scaled for O-scale trains (e.g. Lionel). The printed water towers are slightly undersized (see picture), so the .stl files should be scaled for your purpose.

  • for O27, scale by 105% to 110%
  • for S, OK as is (i.e., 100%)
  • for HO, scale by 65% to 70%
  • for N, scale by 40% to 50%
  • for Z, scale by 40% to 45%

The dimensions of the water tower without any scaling are:

  • overall height, 260 mm (10.24")
  • clearance of waterspout, about 93 mm (3.66")
  • Tank OD 85 mm (3.35")
