Lionel Trains Water Tank No. 38 B Variation

Lionel Trains Water Tank No. 30The Water Tank No. 38 was produced in 1946 and 1947. The tank spout would be lowered by remote control and water would be pumped out of the doubled walled outer section of the tank into the inner giving the impression of a lowering water level. There are two electrical connections on the TAN colored base and the two cap nuts hold the roof to the tank and these provide the ground and electrical wiring that activates the spout and the water pump.

Examples in excellent or better condition are difficult to find due the corrosive nature of the water and the effects this caused on the metal and plastic tank parts. It came with a No. 38-70 envelope that contained water color tablets and a clear plastic funnel. There are two variations:
Variation A: Has a roof that is painted BROWN.
spacer
Variation B: Has a roof that is painted RED.
spacer
Dimensions: 6" x 6" base, 10-1/8"high.		 No. 38 Funnel
