Great input, Jim, and you're right, I did see some reds (with smoke and ash) and also some orange wash entering streams from the tailings piles I've seen. I do know that the Lackawanna River used to run bright orange at times from leaching heavy metals from the piles and from pumping out of the deeper portions of the mines near Scranton and Wilkes Barre. I do have some orange course turf that I could use in spots, and I'll give that a whirl tonight as I add more scenic detail to the pull-out module.
