They have both been available in the UK from DS before and, I think, were only deleted at then beginning of 2018, so a surprisingly quick return.

Both are nice items for the Garden Railway the Water Tower particularly if you run Live Steam it can deliver actual Water to a Tank or Tender. I always thought about altering my Live Steam to have a through Pipe in the Tank or Tender so that Water could be delivered to pass straight through into a hole in the ground beneath the Track where the filler was. Never happened. My Tank was purchased around the 1990’s and sat outside for many many years, finally found that the Plastic went somewhat brittle and started to break up when the Tank got blown off the line in High Winds. But it did last getting on for 25 Years so probably not too much of an issue. The remains of the Tank are now a Sawmill Sawdust Extraction unit in my Alexisbad Station complex.
