First I want to build the tower from wood as discribed in MR, but then I found this plastic kit.
Tried to get close to the one in MR. - Erich

I'm probably on the left (Bob) because I don't really drink as many beers as the guy on the right! (Doug)
It's Canada at its finest...



Nice work on those brick walls by the way, I didn't realize how great they look compared to the unfinished pieces in the box. Very superb work.

OH, and there is a town called Westville very close to where I live. But I don't think there is a tiki restaurant there!

Wait...Bob and Doug are real people? I thought it was just an animated series O_o

Great job on the water tower! How much weathering have you done on it?

TYCO and AHM, or more accurately Pola of West Germany's, Arlee Station is based upon plans from an October 1967 RMC article...http://tycotrain.tripod.com/tycokits/id10.html.

Didn't realize the Water Tower may be based on a magazine article too.

The Pola-made Water Tower with brick base was a TYCO item for two years 1976-77...
