cool.. cool
Looks great. Now, all you need to do is rig up a water tank and pump and use it to water those house plants. Then it will serve two purposes.
I just restored a 36b and added a liquor setup to come out if the nozzle. It is for a customers house in the Florida Keys. I put a switch into the nozzle to activate pump it worked perfect.
Great topic!

Waiting for more photos ...

Minimal lighting & DUST COLLECTING.
If there wasn't a pump the wife would have Another Plant in it's place!

Looks nice!
The only pump that is inside the house is on a timer to light up the stair and entry area at night. This is my first pump I got in 1995 and has been in the house sense it was restored in 96/97. I was going to put it in the garage with the others but my wife wanted it to stay inside. If I ever get back to working on my Wayne 70 station lighter it will go in place of the Bennett. My wife already picked a spot in the living room for the Bennett so I guess it will stay in the house.

Sharp pump Matt!

No pumps in the house here, but they sure complement the work shop.

My pump, a wayward MS 80, functions as a lightening rod. it seems to attracts my wife's jolts jabs and witticisms, none kind I might add. Wait till it moves into the house.
I have two Tok 39s in my house... The tall one makes a great gun safe.

Its the one thing that the wife is not crazy about,didn't pickout, convince me we had to have it or life just wouldn't be the same. I guess its somewhat a equalizer-huh?
I have 4 in my "mancave" it's where I go to relax there are 6 in the garage they get people asking questions and then they see just how badly I'm addicted to the hobby, amazingly the wife likes them as well so getting them inside isn't a problem, yet...





Killer collection + display, Bob!

I sure like the "mix" of RAILROAD + PETROLIANA pieces. Specifically, love the "Bell" + the "Wayne-866"!

Go Union Pacific!

The 36B is a basement night light for the kids on weekends when they sleep down there, and for when company stays.

The Bowser I just finished yesterday is going up stairs to ashleys room for a night light.
