Shane Murphy posted on ‎Backyard Railroading: I built this water tower about a year ago for a friends 7.5" gauge RR. The water tank is an A/C freon tank, hat on top is a funnel, legs and bracing just fabricated from angle iron, "fill pipe" up the center is 1" conduit, railing is 3/16" rod with galvanized wire wrapped 360 deg around the platform. Just the other day, one of the guys that helps out attached the solar panel up top and a 12 VDC battery down low, and this now powers about 1/6 th of the signal system on the railroad.
