I've been working on a couple of structures for the junction on the Poor Fork RR...
I've started a depot, & then I thought, "What's a steam-era shortline without a water tank?"
Well, I thought I'd dig around in the scrap box, & see what I could come up with...
I found this little tank thingy in a Walthers N scale Service Track kit...
I used a square to draw some vertical guidelines on the tank, & then glued some 080x080 Evergreen styrene strip to the sides
To make a support structure for the tank, I found some HO trestle bents in a Walthers O.L. King & Son Coal Co...
I trimmed up a couple of the bents, & added some styrene strip for bracing...
I primed everything with Floquil Roof Brown...

Life is all the stuff that happened while you were makin' other plans.
