Been plugging away slowly at the scenery on my NTrak modules. The left module being the hardest as I have a river running across it. The river was the pacing item. I had to have that completed before adding the many bridges and track work. Think I have the river part well underway, just waiting for the second coat of "Enviortex" to cure. On the upper raging part of the river and waterfall I used Woodland Scenics "Water Effects". The waterfall and white areas above have not cured yet. They will dry clear and I will paint the whitecaps and coat the area again with the Effects stuff. Here us a picture of just the river, I clamped a wood dam to the module edge to hold the enviortex.

Bridges, bridges, bridges - all five of them. The first will be a ballasted deck bridge for the Red/Yellow lines. Thinking of leaving it nice, no rust - either just painted of newly installed. The second bridge is a Warren Truss for the Blue line, will add some more rust before installing it. The next is a simple girder bridge for the first leg of my switchback up to the Mountain division line.

The log bridge above the falls I copied from one of Shamus's pictures, it has two tracks and the last bridge a King post carries the Mountain Division rail across the river.

I should mention that the waterfall has a lighted rotating drum behind it to simulate moving water. Waiting for the Woodland Scenics "Water Effects" to cure to see what I have to add or change. Hope you enjoyed the pictures and I will keep posting when I complete more.

Canada, eh?
Looks good, Bill. :thumb: I especially like the effect near the dock, both the rapids and the transition into deeper water. Very nicely done.

Bill, very nice job. Just a thought, maybe you could leave some construction equipment and left over building material around the new bridge. Again, good job.:-D
