Thanks for the hi-five!  I put this together with stuff from my junk bin and it turned out pretty good I think.  This is on my side yard railroad AKA The Industrial Belt Railroad as oppossed to my back yard railroad AKA The Lone Wolf Railroad which I'm going to tie together someday when my wife gives me right of way through her part of the yard.  I just orderd one of them Playmobil Cargo Ships which shoud be acceptable scale wise if you use the 15 foot rule.  Going to probably repaint it and do a bit of modifying to make it fit the theme.  Scrap metal sales to China with this pier being one of the transfer points from rail to ship.  It should look good tied up to the pier.  I''m going to add a couple of ladies of the evening working out of their cars just off of the pier so they can do what they do for sailor's coming off of a long voyage.  I have to admit both of my railroads have a lot of "adult" spots on them.

Better watch out! When the tide goes that far out they have a special name for it when it comes back. It’s called a TSUNAMI!!!!
