I think it would be easy to put a painted pipe in but you may have trouble finding the right size other than that a pipe should work.

Sorry for reviving a dead thread, but it fit my purpose. Soon I will have to carve a creek into the foam base of my HO layout. The creek goes under two tracks on a curve. How should I model the crossing? Should I get two Woodland Scenics Culverts per track and put on either side of the track, taking the foam out inbetween them so it looks like a pipe? Shoulsd I just buy some 1/4" or 3/8" tube and stick it through and paint it to resemble old, rusted steel pipes?
Thanks,
Reed

If your looking for info on layout planing, trying to find a plan, want know how to build a bridge, building and so on, or just want to share your "railroad wisdom" this is what your looking for.
Here is a good place to go if you need pointers on layout planing or can't find a good layout:
HO/N scale: http://www.thortrains.net/smscale1.htm
____________________________________________________________________________
Now the first thing you need to know is that when you first start to build your trainset you shouldn't be woried about how the layout looks. Your first layout probobly will not even be finished before you move on.
What that means is that by working on your first layout you know a little bit more than you did when you first decided to build your layout. After you build the second or third layout you should be surprised at what you acomplished.
Now you know what this tread is for so ask a question or give an answer[:)][:D][8D][:D][:)]
