Niel -

That isn't a rod. It's a vertical pipe that forms the water gauge. Notice the fitting at the bottom and the plunger at the top; pushing down on the plunger admits water to the pipe from the bottom. The pipe has holes drilled at intervals indicating approximately 2000-gallon increments; by noting how many "holes" the water escapes from, you know how much you have.

On the "huddle" photo there is a rod of some kind just to the right of the hand rail on the tender. Excuse questions from a novice, but what is it and what was it used for ? I model in 0, but I have never seen this on a model. Seems to me that it would be a simple matter to add that detail.

Thanks for your help.

Have a happy day.
