Craigjp if it was up to me I would take all the lights off the tower.
John there is no water in the water tower. The city water comes in and we run that through a softener then into a tank underground behind the tank. The buttins you see turn the pump on and off.
Inside the tower is a lighting control room for the stage across from the depot. There are two doors in the fron of the tower that open for a show, in Herbs pic you can see the gap between the two doors behind the counter waight. You can also see the hinges for the right door about 12 planks over from the center seem. Its looks really bad during a show when your puting water in from a "water tower" that has two doors in it!
Oh as for the bands, there is a couple missing and it bugs the crap out of me. I want to replace them somday.
