Manufacturer description

The Dapol water tower brings a little fun back into the hobby. Dapol have provided a realistic series of sounds and a selection of voiceover comments, several of which involve the driver berating his fireman for mucking it all up.

The highly detailed exterior of the model will not look out of place on any discerning modellers layout, with a non-motorised version available for the traditional modeller. The sound effects and animation however bring a little audible and visual stimulation to a locomotive servicing area that will entertain adults and children alike. The sound effects can be turned off for those times when you just want to relax and run some trains around your layout in peace and quiet.

Model details

Dapol's GWR Water Tower model is a static model of a conical-roofed water tower, representing the Great Western Railway's (GWR) water towers from the Big Four period. The model is available in a light and dark stone finish, with a GWR grey livery.

This model is designed for OO gauge model railways and features a highly detailed design, including etched parts and a flexible delivery pipe that can be trimmed to suit the model railway layout. The model includes a water valve, positioning chains, a drain grill, a tether post, and a frost prevention heater.

The static model is a non-operating version, but a motorised version is also available, featuring sounds.
