Esquimalt & Nanaimo Water Tank
 
This attractive old tank sits by the depot in Parksville, BC. By railway standards it is a fairly small 20,000 gallon tank but it will seem huge when compared to the typical tiny plastic water tank models that are available.

The E&N tank can be used in other scales too, representing     a 15,000 gal tank in 1:20.3 scale, a 24,000 gal tank in 1:24,a 42,000 gal tank in 1:29 and a 57,000 gal tank in 1:32 scale.  If you are working in other scales though, be sure to check the height of the water spout against the height of your engine tender and alter the length of the base posts to suit if necessary.
