Besides the stunning centerpiece in that video, I must say that old leather couch surely looks mighty comfortable.

Nice work Gil! And nice water tower as well.
Thanks, Brent!

Yes, that is a great water tower, thank you very much!

At some point after I get the engine completely finished, I would like to make a longer run utilizing the water tower.
