Not sure that it does, and I don't care. I like it. It does need considerable paint, Dullcote and weathering. I don't usually drift toward this sort of "accessory", but when I think of the Lionel PW solenoid-operated ones....BUZZ!
That seems to be the running joke about anything in O-guage with water sounds. I think it sounds like a tender being filled myself but.... maybe Curt has a much larger toilet than I do, LOL!
Having said that. I preordered one of these from Ro and I'm very happy with it. While the Broadway Limited water tower is a bit more asthetically pleasing, I couldn't get past the non functioning spout chain and the MTH Tower is lower in price to boot.
The mechanism is nearly silent and the sounds are well executed.
On a side note, it appears Stockyard express did a custom run of these water towers for the NKP road. If I would have known sooner I may have grabbed one of these instead and tried to remove the lettering as I prefer the color scheme.
