One of the last structures I want to add to my layout is a large water tower. I am interested in using Walthers City water tower that comes in silver 933-2826 or black 933-2825. At one time I think they produced it in kit form but all I see now is the assembled ones. If I add a water tower to my layout I want to have a blinking red warning light on top. Does any one know if these pre assembled water towers can be partially disassembled so that the light circuits can be installed?
Does anyone know where to find a kit version of this tower?
If you mean the tall utility tower with the trestle-like tower and multiple wire or ‘rod’ bracing between box segments, it can be taken apart, but you will probably have major reconstruction afterward. It isn’t the tank so much, but all those flimsy rod braces that will pop off. I knocked mine over a couple of times (DO NOT place it where you have to reach to deal with rolling stock!!!) and spent quite some time getting the rods to stay CA’d back into place. I found one under the layout last spring while I was dismantling the layout.
