They need to hire the water tank company that built the tank for Jerry J. at Age of Steam Roundhouse. They do excellent work and could probably use the business as well. It would also benefit the the railroad! A winner all around, I'd say... But what do I know?..

Tank Creek circa 1965 before the wooden tank was replaced with the current edition.
