Bachmann Parachute Water Tower is a model railway accessory designed for 00 gauge (1:76) layouts. The tower is constructed from die‑cast metal and high‑impact plastic, and features a working water tank with a removable parachute that can be positioned to suggest a fire‑fighting or rescue scene.
The finished model measures approximately 180 mm in height and 300 mm in length, allowing it to fit comfortably between standard track sections. It includes realistic detailing such as riveted panels, a ladder, and painted weathering effects. The parachute is attached to a small winch mechanism, enabling it to be raised or lowered without the need for additional tools.
The product is supplied with a manufacturer part number 44‑0064 and a set of instructions in English. It is intended for use on indoor or outdoor model railway layouts and can be integrated with both analogue and digital control systems. The water tower is packaged in a cardboard box with protective inserts, and the recommended retail price is listed in British pounds.
