Wow, I can't believe I had time to compose this scene and take the picture before someone else posted a water scene of their own. As always, click the picture for a larger view.

Show me another scene with water.

Ditto to what Rob just said.

I especially like the cat tails you added. They really sell the scene.

This one's a work of art, Peter, both in the modeling and the photo composition. First time I've ever seen water pouring from a model culvert and it looks great! Terrific job with this ditch scene. The water, grass and reeds (and the trackwork of course) are totally realistic. -Rob

Hmmm... I can't believe we went 24 hours with no double headed steam to be seen.

Changing subjects: Here is a STRATTON AND GILLETTE train crossing a short bridge over a boggy marsh.

Show me another train near a swamp, bog, marsh, dry creek, etc.

NYC 4-6-4 #5335, and Pere Marquette 2-8-4 #1235 at the head of a mixed freight.

Any more double headed steam out there?

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
