Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

I've been promising photos of progress on the Mud Run/Lehigh River build.  After a good bit of forethought, I've decided to work developing all of the "underwater" scenery in this area of the layout since I'll need to apply my Realistic Water under the bridge and need some space to work free of trees, shrubs, etc.  Mud Run emerges from under the bridge and runs right into a big curve in the Lehigh River.  I've decided to incorporate a good portion of the curve of the river and the banks on the east side.  I'll probably only show the east half of the river before the fascia.  If any of you have used Realistic Water, it helps to have a non-porous surface to pour the stuff on to dry.  Sculptamold on plaster cloth can be problematic and messy without a supporting surface.  So, pulled out my stock of 1/4" plywood and started fitting it together to support the river.  Once finished, the river will parallel the tracks for most of the turn.  More photos to come!
