Harbor scene... ideas?

[nachoman]

You didn't mention what geographical area you want to model.... You could make the river your aisle, and model just one small terminal.

Russ, I think the latter part of that is what I'm leaning towards. I like the idea of being coastal. Maybe a protected inlet. I also like the clearer waters near the coast and don't care much for the dirty waters of a river. That would work for a lightweight coastal freighter but I'm not sure if they use small barges along either coastline. Could be somewhere along the great lakes I guess.
I dunno. Every time I start to focus in, another aspect becomes appealing.

Barges are used in many estuaries in the Eastern US, and in the intercoastal waterway.
