Wasn't a railway water tower, but I've done a couple of roofs like
this. First one was a seven sided building (based on an actual seven
sided bank in Halifax).
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=93772 Uses 8x4 wings.
Next was an octagonal barn (place to hide the code pilot controlling the
cows) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=947891 Uses an
assortment of different wing plates as I was short on them. They are
held in place by 1x2 hinge bricks on jumper plates.
In such a small space you might be just better off with making a rounded
roof using plates, like the back bit of the chapel here:

figured out how to photograph black well)

| (...) I too remember seeing a round(ish) building using wings to create a round roof. However I'm pretty certain it was a railway water tower and was in a fairly recent Bickshelf gallery of a show. Anyone point me in the right direction? Tim (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
