Meanwhile, down in the trainyard.

Now, for the time being this scene is a mockup, as the final scene will be put together once that part of the rail-yard is finished. I mostly wanted to show off the water tank. Built to the same lines as the original (Or, close enough...there are a few small differences such as the tank being a bit taller in order to hide the servo that operates the spout) the tank's body was made from matchsticks glued around a cardboard tube. The roof itself is card-stock cut into triangles and glued together with West Side roofing material. The spout and it's equipment was made from a Walther's water-tank in order to get the operating feature.

The rest was made from bits and bobs laying about.
