Hello everybody
Here is the video, I love it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo0etJ3Kec4&feature=related

I like it! Especially the floating `island.’ Was it inspired by the Mulberry ports built during the Normandy invasion?
The only downside I can see is the possibility of a tempest, such as Junior cannonballing into the pool…

Talk about your “outdoor garden RR”
I don’t think the “water” looks “real”.
With my luck little waves in the pool would knock off the trains.
Talk about your “real water feature”!
Hmm…imagine finding a short. Being careful not to get an electrical shock.
I wonder what he used for the “realistic water look”?
A patio garden to be proud of. Now to keep the kids away.
I still wonder just hwat it is about that “water”…

Knowing the price of Marklin stock, I´d hate to see your trains taking a plunge!
Interesting idea, though [swg]
That is really clever. However in my pool that crossing would last about ten seconds before it was swamped by a son or grandson cannonballing into the water. Nobody just DIVES into my pool, we all have to see just how much water we can displace onto the pool-deck, LOL!

One day when the kids had gone off to School
I built a wood bridge across my swimming pool
My trains made the crossing safely at first
But their route was soon to be deeply immersed
The neighbours cat uses my garden to pee
And now he’s hiding in the old Apple tree
He’s spotted a train tempting a watery fate
And has dropped from the tree to the old garden gate
Now on the ground behind a plant pot
The train will soon pass his great hiding spot
With a deadly quick leap he jumps to the rails
The train hits the water but does not know how to sail
A sub in the making this train it is not
A whole lot of money were these trains that I bought
Now on the bottom of my cool swimming pool
Oh how I wished the kids had stayed home from school
