The Model:
This model is based on a Baltimore & Ohio prototype.
Pump houses were a fixture in rail yards, industrial sites, and as town
water supplies from the mid 1800's through today. Changing the roof
ridge detail and smoke stack style would allow the model to be used for
many other railroads and scenery locations. Once the need for steam
pumping was no longer require, many of these buildings were converted to
electric drive pumps, or other uses including storage or offices.
