Specific Item Information: Based on towers used in Colorado, similar water tanks were used throughout the American west. The roof is based on those used in the Rocky Mountain area, where a steeper pitch was needed to hold heavy snow. Two different roof peaks are included; a finial as used from 1850-1890, and a simpler version, typical of new roofs applied during the 20th century. With careful assembly, the water spout can be moved up and down and the frost box door opened and closed. The kit also includes a baggage cart, often used at these facilities by repair crews to move tools and supplies. 1-1/2 x 1-3/16 x 3" 3.7 x 3 x 7.5cm
Road Name History:
Railroad structures include but are not limited to stations, depots, yard offices, interlocking towers and tanks. A train station, railway station, railroad station, or depot is a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight.

It generally consists of at least one track-side platform and a station building (depot) providing such ancillary services as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. The smallest stations are most often referred to as "stops" or, in some parts of the world, as "halts" (flag stops). Stations may be at ground level, underground, or elevated. Connections may be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses, trams or other rapid transit systems.
