A Rather Splendid Water Tower for Your Model Railway
Right, so here's the thing: if you're the sort of person who enjoys assembling beautifully crafted miniature buildings and doesn't mind getting your hands a bit dusty in the process, this is precisely the kit for you. We've created a rather gorgeous brick water tower inspired by the real thing at Savernake High Level Station, complete with an access ladder and adjoining equipment room where all the pumping machinery lived. It's the sort of detail that makes a model railway display go from pleasant to properly marvellous.
Why Choose Our Water Tower Model
Historically Accurate Design: Based on the M and SWJR water towers that eventually became part of the GWR network, this model suits UK railway eras 2 through 11, so whether your layout is Victorian or mid-century, you're rather well covered.
Built for Customisation: We've thoughtfully included space for LED lighting, which means you can make this thing genuinely glow. Nothing says showstopper quite like ambient lighting reflecting off a freshly painted water tower at dusk.
Helpful Assembly Features: The design includes sensible clearances to aid assembly, and windows are provided separately on transparent sheet material so you can achieve that fabulously authentic look.
Ready for Your Creative Touch: Supplied unpainted and unassembled in resin, this is your blank canvas. Use acrylic or enamel paints, and don't hesitate with a bit of sanding and filling if you fancy it. The result will be utterly fetching.
Product Details
Scale: O Scale, the rather generous size that lets you see all the delicious detail
Materials: 3D printed resin, ready to paint and assemble
What You Get: Unpainted water tower kit with access ladder and equipment room
Assembly: Please dry assemble before gluing, and do read through the instructions first. We've tried to make this foolproof, though we remain cautiously optimistic

This is a kit for adult collectors aged 14 and above. Small parts present, so not suitable for younger children. If you have any questions during assembly, do get in touch and we'll sort you out. Rather promptly, ideally.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
