6046 is one of the best known S160 Consolidations in Great Britain, right Andy?Β  Aside from 5820 Big Jim?

I imagine because it gets around. I last saw it at Minehead.

I wonder how much water can this beast chug down before it is full?

According to Wikipedia, the capacity is 6,500 US Gallons.

Whoa, that's going to cost a lot when the water bill arrives. I wonder if rail road company has their own source of water supply, like a river.

Well they will have a supply to their water column but presumably would have to pay a business water rate to the water company.....
