The only problem with "Harbors"........they are LARGE !!! even in Z scale.
My Modules, have 5 scale acres of water, and they still look a bit crowded.
Looking forward to seeing how this works out for you.
Ahaha! You're right... The only way to be truly prototypical is to model NYC small yards! ;-) Once made a benchwork for Harlem, taking roughly 5' x 6' estate.
Quebec City old harbour would take 60' x 32'... The grain elevator would be about 20' feet long!!! I can't imagine when you about a real large city!!!! The old layout represented the same thing in 8' x 12'!!!! We kept what we really wanted from the prototype and rebuilt it differently. It was the only answer.
