Purely by accident, I discovered that clear acrylic caulk (NOT latex-acrylic) cures to a close approximation of foam-and-spray free water. You might want to try it over a polyfiber 'armature', with most of the polyfiber at the point where the falling stream lands on the rocks below.
I haven't tried this as a scenic treatment yet, but intend to.

Hi Marlon: I'm not sure how much of a flow you want out of your drain pipe. So, here's a few examples of a trickle, and a water fall. The water fall can be sized to whatever length or width you need. The trickle is monofiliment fishing line, and the water fall is RTV silicone sealant, smeared in a thin layer on waxed paper with your finger.
wm3798 It's hard to see the results as your picture is pretty small. It would depend on how much water you want to show in the outflow. Hope this helps. Lee

While not a drain pipe, you could use the same process I used for my waterfall. I took a piece of white polyfiber, glued it at the top, then combed it down over the falls, matting it with gloss medium, similarly to what Jeffrey describes. For industrial outflow, you could add some acrylic paint to the medium to tint to a nasty shade of pollution. For a heavy outflow, use more poly fiber, for a trickle, just use a bit, but long enough to reach the basin its pouring into.

I've used gloss medium dried on a piece of glass and painted it into place with more gloss medium.

I have a large drain pipe that I've modeled on my layout. What I am attempting to do is model water coming from the drain. Any suggestions? I recalled an old article where the modeler used scotch tape, then built it up using Realistic Water. I tried it but was not satisfied with the results.
