Water Tower from Heljan - Building and improving

Steam engines used about three times as much water as coal, so many stations in the steam-era would have water towers. In this video I build a Danish State Railway (DSB) water tower of a standard type originally designed back in the 1891. The model is from Heljan (B-371). It was released in 2007 and is 100 pct. correct. The model is interesting in the sense that it can be made in three different hights, which are all prototypical. In this video, I build the maxed out version. The tower is also available in yellow bricks (B-372). Please visit my blog www.Sundborg.wordpress.com for more on my 1950's Danish layout.

Flot arbejde! Jeg var slet ikke klar over Heljan havde lavet denne model. Lækkert :-) Hilsen fra Holland, Joachim

Tak for hollandsk hilsen! Jo, byggesættet kom i 2007, men det er måske sværere at skaffe uden for Danmark? 🚂
