Manufacturer description

Announced as part of our Autumn 2021 British Railway Announcements, we are delighted to offer this Great Central Water Column and Arm.

The invention of steam locomotives created a requirement for watering facilities, and at stations, loco depots and other key sites columns like this would be provided for quick and easy watering of locomotives. Many of these facilities remained in use once diesel traction took over, filling the water tanks needed to feed the steam-heating boilers that were fitted to many first-generation diesels. Add this Scenecraft model to your layout for an instant solution to your watering needs!

MODEL FEATURES:

• OO scale
• Highly detailed, hand painted model
• Fully decorated and ready to place on your layout
• Measurements: 46.5mm (H) x 20mm (W) x 63mm (L) (see image for more detailed measurements)
