Supplied with pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism (See the Pecoscene Weathering Powder range PS-360 - 365); glue is required to complete this model. Footprint; Sides 61mm wide X 125mm High, Span 153mm

Stations often had these Water Cranes at the end of the platforms so the locomotives could be refilled without detaching them from the train.
