Hi All:

Here' a water tank I built from an article in MR. It Was build a water tank from an oatmeal box. It was in O-Scale so I had to scale it down to HO.

Made my own shingles with pinking shears and added individual cap shingle instead of paper strips. Tank is of individual boards. Hope you like it.

Hi Al:

This is one of my favorites. I believe Mike Tylick built the original for his RR. Karl O. provided the Callahan's signs for me. There were no plans used. All done by eye. the interior was the most fun.

That is some great bunch of stuff, Karl. One of the buildings from the tannery looks very familiar...
