Here are some pix of the Pico "Rio Grande" water tower I "bashed" a few years ago, taken recently in a definite 1:20.3 setting - Roger Cutter's RGS East layout in North Central Maryland:

"God willin' an' th' cricks don't rise..."
I'll be there all day Saturday (if not most of Friday also) at my usual place: Clem O'Jevich's Warrior Run Loco Works modular layout.
