Constructing an Embankment
Re: Constructing an Embankment
Glad you are happy with it and it does look fine, but to my mind it actually looked better yesterday with the 'dirty yellow water' showing between the gravel banks.

Re: Constructing an Embankment
Well OK just because you asked I'll force myself to run some trains to get a picture.
The line I'll use to SWMBO will be "they asked to see pictures of trains on the bridge so I can't let them down".

Re: Constructing an Embankment
Thanks Philip; now you have started me thinking about taking up some of the gravel, shouldn't be hard to do just wet it with warm water and use a paint scraper.

Re: Constructing an Embankment
I think it looks GREAT. Maybe a few plastic 'bushes' or some reeds?

Re: Constructing an Embankment
Thinking of a few bits of turf offcuts as long grass growing in the dry creek bed.
Also thinking of putting in a line to a gravel pit, non operational points similar to what I did in the back corner to suggest a line into the bush, when the plants grow a bit more they will hide the fact the line is a dead end.
The 2 lines will provide justification for my log train and the gravel train.

Re: Constructing an Embankment
I agree with Philip. You should be able to create some washout along the line that the creek would flow, and use sand or finer gravel to infill. Lovely work, though.
