4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of interest in a very small space.
Few structures summon the age of the "iron horse" as much as the water tower, which will also add a vertical dimension to your railroad. This Bachmann model is molded with intricate detail and snaps together easily. That said, if you feel like painting it some other color, you certainly may. If nothing else, I'd probably hit the gray parts with cheap gray primer to take...

2.0 out of 5 stars Bachmann Train Water Tower/ 0 scale
In the description, it says that this water tower is 0 scale. I purchased it. Assembly was easy and I started my layout. As I purchased more 0 Scale buildings and started laying down my track, I set the water tower by the track and ran the locomotive by it. One thing is for sure.....this is NOT 0 Scale!!! LOL! Way too small. I would say that it is HO scale. It is not...

This product is about 1:48 in scale, which makes it ideal for Lionel O and O27 trains and for Holiday Villages. - Paul Race, editor, Big Christmas Trains

As I purchased more 0 Scale buildings and started laying down my track, I set the water tower by the track and ran the locomotive by it. One thing is for sure.....this is NOT 0 Scale!!! LOL! Way too small. I would say that it is HO scale. It is not Amazon's fault....it is Bachmann's fault for selling a product that is not correct scale. Luckily for me, a friend is working on an HO layout and it looks good on it. I recently purchased a Lionel water tower and that is the REAL DEAL!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 30, 2010

I do not have anything good to say about this item. It looks nothing like what is pictured. The roof and the girders/pillars are molded in brown, while the body of the water tower is molded in gray. Even worse, the whole assembly is very flimsy and will not stay together. Even after applying airplane glue in various places, it still comes apart at the slightest touch. At over $14.00 in price, you should get far more for your money. I will not buy anything else from this line of accessories.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but colors don't match image, December 22, 2010

This review is from: Bachmann Trains Water Tower (Toy)
Item has a light brown roof, spout, ladder and girders (versus grey / chrome depicted). The tank is grey (versus the brass color depicted).

Easy to put together, though the structure just sits on the black base (it does not attach to it in any way).

Mine arrived with the spike at the very top broken off...rather than return it, I just used some super glue...

Overall, it's OK...I would rate it higher if the colors were as presented...you can of course paint it...
