About This Accessory

The 93 Water Tower was originally sold by Lionel in the "prewar" era (the years before World War II). It was re-introduced in 1946 and was sold for five years (through 1950). The all-metal Water Tower is painted silver and is approximately 8 3/8 inches high. The base is red and measures approximately 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches square. The spout is black and is the only moving part on this accessory. There is a decal on the tank with "LIONEL TRAINS" in red.

Additional Details

There are at least seven known prewar versions of the 93 Water Tower. One had a green tank with a maroon base; another version from that era had a green tank with a terra cotta base. A third variation had a gray tank and tower. The earliest version had a maroon base, burnt orange tower plus a pea green tank and pipe; however it did not come with a decal.
