I ran across this web site, now I can't find it. Stupid me for not bookmarking it.
The railroad featured a lot of small locos, flats, dump cars, etc. Nice figures seated on small benches on 4 wheel flats.
There was a mine entrance.
What impressed me the most was the water. There were shallow ponds and streams everywhere, even a small dike. The waters seemed to be running, and was very clear showing lots of gravel.
There were a lot of trestles, all very low with the rails and only an inch or so above the water.
There was a lot of timber, everywhere. And there were places where there was a timber retaining wall holding a narrow strip of land and preventing it from falling into the pond. One such strip of land had a couple siding that dead ended into the center of a pond. I got the impression that the shallow pond actually had a retaining wall extended into it and back filled with gravel and track layed on top of that.
The web site was organized with Years, 2004, 2005, 2006, etc along the right side of the page and there was a slide show for each year. The newest pictures showed a very lush garden-scape with trains and water well integrated with the plantings.
I seem to remember the owner also liked photography as a hobby. the ties were hand laid.

I'd like to find the link to this web site and which forum the author usually frequents.
I plan an extension to my RR next year that will include a lot of water and would like to study his pictures for ideas and possible clues as to how he constructed the water features with so many track, causeways, piers and trestles that seem to be IN the water. Perhaps I can also find out his on line name and he will post a few more pictures and discuss his building techniques.
The layout was, (I think) 7/8" to the foot. And the pictures were absolutely outstanding.
