Forks Creek water tank

[Todd A Ferguson]

Keith,

Neat stuff. I'm not sure but I think Bill Banta had an east coast source for his castings. A call to him might 

get the answer and see if that source is still an option. Joe aka Ragg might also have used this same source.

I don't know of RGM does custom parts or not. Might be a minimum quantity too. 3D printing might be an option.

Best,

Harry Brunk prepared an article years ago in the Gazette on the Idaho Springs tank. It caught my eye because it had cast iron columns with nice capitals. I forged ahead and built the barrel thinking I would figure out how to model the columns. Well, I never did find a suitable column, and proceeded to make a more standard frame base for the tank, and installed a shingle roof on the thing.

As my SketchUp skills are progressing, the columns recently returned to my mind:



I posted this to Shapeways and will wait a day before placing my order. I don't know that I will replace the roof, but the works will make a favorable stand in. Who wants to recommend a source for the spout? Where did Banta get his casting in the day? Rio Grande Models?

Great looking water tank -- kit or scratch built?
