I am going to build an early 1900-30 mountain railroad. I need information on the equipment railroads used, the buildings railroads commonly used, (water tower, log mills, holding ponds, sand towers, ash pits, and any other buildings that may have been overlooked) layouts of small yards etc. I don't have much information on this yet but am very determined to set up a very real looking set. I think the old trains are so incredible, all the things they did and the places they went. If any one has interesting pictures or links that would help in my research that would be great. <br />Also I am looking for information dealing with creating real looking water and how to make very detailed water falls, rushing rapids, small ponds, rivers. What brands of supplies are good or other ways to create the effects I am looking for.. Also any reference pictures or links.
