When I built our water tank I had to make our spout. I took a piece of plastic tubing and heated it with a hair dryer, and stretched and bent it into the shape we wanted. I tried to add a picture but was told I am not allowed, sorry.

Once you get your post count up a bit, that secret door will be unlocked.  If you have it available on another website, you can cut and paste the address and link to it.
I also need to fabricate something to repair my old AHM tank that lost its spout many decades ago... I'll be interested seeing how you did it.

You did a really nice job on that tower!  Thanks for sharing that.

Thank you. It was all done with strip wood. The tank is hollow and all the plumbing is as accurate as I could do.

Brighid, When you get enough posts to gain permission to post pictures here, please come back to this thread and post the pictures of your tower and spout.  Some of us don't "do" Facebook, for various reasons.

When the time comes to posting photos here I recommend using the Railwire gallery instead of just attaching photos to a post.
Instructions (for both methods) are in https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=42854.0 and are a lot of scarier looking than the actual photo posting process is.

I wonder if Republic Locomotive Works would have a spout that would fit your tank?

Not to be confused with Republic Locomotive, which builds and rebuilds 1:1 locomotives:
