Lionel 38 Vintage O Operating Pumping Water Tower – Repainted VG – Model Train Junction: Quality Parts and Art Supplies

Here is a Lionel 38 Vintage O Operating Pumping Water Tower – Repainted, from 1946-47. This is a really cool accessory that features a double walled tank that you actually fill up with water! There is a reservoir in the top under that roof that also stores water. When you activate it, the pump inside the tank, pumps die-colored water out of the walls and into the hidden reservoir in the top to give the illusion that the water is really being pumped out of the tan to fill up your steam loco’s tender! Add a Z-Stuff DZ-1260 water tower animator for the complimentary sound effects of the spout lowering and the water running to really get the full effect! It features a die-cast metal base a plastic double-wall tank and a plastic roof. It is 11 inches tall x 6 inches long x 6 inches wide.
