Rod, that's wonderful, and even more wonderful to have a friend like you.
Come to think of it, I'll be needing a roundhouse for SanBdno soon, and it's a much smaller footprint (but 35 stalls)

I think that's the roundhouse and bridge that Jim Kelly did in I think a 1989 MR, I remember his bridge scratch build article I still have the issue I think.

Davidgray1974:

I personally think your plan to cover this riverbed with olive- or tan-tinted Magic Water will work just fine.

Many of the smaller river and stream bottoms here in the East develop a green algae coating as the summer wears on. This tint is just visible through the brownish water...

BTW  --  your work is superb, in my opinion.

Regards,  Harry

I agree, the Ohio river gets a greenish tint to it because of the dirt suspended in the water after a rain. One small creek that runs near my grandparents home had a orange / rust color to it, because of the minerals in the water. I think once you've added the actual resin water to the river bed, it will resemble a lot of creeks and streams in the Allegheny / Appalachian mountain region.

Thanks, I have plans and that article also. What I don't have is the wherewithal to get started on such a big project

Those look to be H0 if that makes any difference.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Who remembers these?

(edit for link)

Talking the model scene you built or the 1:1 edition? Rode those for 20 years. Crews called then tin cans.  Nice to see you posting here again. How goes the O scale world?
