Under the category of things you probably didn't expect to hear today, is "after I finished ironing my water," I decided to put it in place since it will be a couple of days at least before I install the canal banks. Paper, poster board, a lot of materials warp when you use water based paint. A spray of water on the back side and an iron on its lowest setting flattens things back out again.
I also want some kind of boat down there. I'm leaning towards a tug or small yacht. Scroll till you see a tug named "Hermes": https://www.shipmodell.com/index_files/0PLAN7A3.html#8S
Same me, different spelling!
There's also a little beauty named "Schaarhorn'. https://www.shipmodell.com/index_files/0PLAN7A1.html
I settled on something you probably wouldn't expect to see in a canal. Panama maybe but not the Ohio and Erie!
