Dapol 4A-002-005 OO Gauge GWR Flat Top Water Tower Chocolate & Cream Motorised A
Era 3 (1923 to 1947) The Big Four (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR)
Motorised version
The Dapol water tower brings a little fun back into the hobby. Dapol
have provided a realistic series of sounds and a selection of voiceover
comments, several of which involve the driver berating his fireman for
mucking it all up.
The highly detailed exterior of the model will not look out of place
on any discerning modellers layout, with a non-motorised version
available for the traditional modeller. The sound effects and animation
however bring a little audible and visual stimulation to a locomotive
servicing area that will entertain adults and children alike. The sound
effects can be turned off for those times when you just want to relax
and run some trains around your layout in peace and quiet.

- That’ll see us over the top!
- Grab the token, we’re off!
