Don has sent me his first post to continue the coverage of various water spouts that can be purchased and details Don has added to complete the scenes. The following are Dons comments.

The New Haven, Vt. water spout found on my Green Mountain Division layout is a brass model made by NJ International. I purchased this spout years ago, but you can still find them occasionally on e-bay for between $25 and $50. The brass spout  is teamed up with a Railworks brass 50,000 gal. water tank that would feed the spout.

At my White River Junction engine terminal on the old part of my layout I also have a Tichy water spout that has been detailed and weathered.  I added a long chain to the spout - standpipe, a chain and loop for the valve at the top and a large yellow valve to control  the water supply to the spout. Next to the water spout is a small tool rack I built from wood and metal castings for the tools that would be used at this location.

 Another location that a water spout is located is at North Bennington on my new layout. That shows you three locations on my Green Mountain Division layout using two different brands of water spouts.

I took a few detailed photos while visiting at Marlinton, WV. A C&O spout is located there. I can always use more prototype views for future modelling and weathering projects...Don Janes

A closer look at the North Bennington, Vt. water spout. It is a Tichy model kit that can be easily assembled, painted and weathered. Don Janes model and  photo.
