tetters I am sorry, I was not trying to start an argument. 
I have never seen plans for a water tower, I was only going by the four C.N.R. ones I have actually been in here in Saskatchewan. They all had stove pipes running up though gaps in the walkways, this may have been a change made sometime after construction. There are seven or eight still in existence out here, they used to supply water to many community's along the railways so they were never torn down after the end of steam. Most of these have now been decommissioned but have been preserved. I know of only one still in service. There are several foundations still around but the water towers are long gone, they are concrete and are twelve to twenty four inches high depending on the level of the ground.
I like your model, it looks great.
