I can build that :cheer:
For that matter, I could design the whole water tower.
I just need good dimensions.

We are Z SCALE! We have room to spare. I have one of the old BAZ kits of a realllly nice water tower made out of all kinds of materials including etched pieces. I also have one of those resin lollypop types.
We are ZSCALE! Big is little and little is big. You can build one of those big TEXAS sized watertowers, something the HO guys would never be able to put on their layouts.

That's a water tower? I thought it was an over-sized pin-cushion.

Stony,
Since there isn't any additional input from the group, and I still can't decide, can you put this one and one with just the box beams for the main posts (same size) on shapeways and I'll start with one of each. BTW: what is the best way to finish the WSF?

The height between the top and bottom beams is 60feet (Zscale)

Stony,
The trestles I saw on google images (i.e.; www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-19893100-trestle-railway-bridge-across-gorge-in-south-africa.php ) looks like the crosspiece sections are the same height, which I prefer. Obviously, there will be various designs out there, but I thought I'd say what I would want to buy.
Keep up the good work, James

Stony,
I like what you have on your Shapeways site, so I ordered some to try out. Thanks! -James
