Water stops

[NW Mailing List]

During steam operations when a locomotive was going to take water on the
road, was it the usual practice to uncouple the locomotive from the rest of
the consist in order to position the locomotive at the water plug?

Also, approximately how long would it take to top off the water in a
tender? I understand the answer is variable given the capacity of any given
tender and how much water was required to fill it up.

I'd like to incorporate this type of prototype operation in my model
railroad operating scheme.

Thanks.
