Reply to "Menard's "New" Pre-Built "O" Scale Water Tower with Articulating Spigot Arm with Attached Counter Weight"

I recently recieved two of these towers, and nice as they are, had the same problem with the counterweight. Have not unpacked the second one yet, but the first one had broken its chain off near the water spout, and was caught up in the lower framework. It took a while to sort it all out and glue the upper chain support pivot back together. I imagine rhe second one will have similar issues when I unpack it.

The counterweight should have been lighter; it is way heavier and bigger than it needs to be. But the big thing is it should have been wired or zip tied to the framework, so it can't thrash around during shipping. Just my 2 cents worth.

Otherwise they are a great model!
