Since everyone liked the covered hopper I posted from Broadway Limited, check out this new functional water tower!

That's actually pretty cool. Especially since it has sound. Not entirely sure how that works, though.

My first thought was that it actually dispensed water! Then I realized how stupid that (or I) was! It's a really cool idea to animate a water tower though.

Seems they copied a postwar Lionel or a American Flyer water tower! Seen a article once on animating a tower with a tortoise switch machine.
