It is good to see them making locos other than coal fired again. I guess with the big Accucraft and Roundhouse price rises they can now compete.
 
The etchings are the same ones as used on the coal fired version ... so yes, you can make the tanks hold water and I guess you could fit an axle pump ... but why? The gas tank will run out before the water in the boiler ... normal practice on gas fired models.
