A shay Pulls a train over a deck girder bridge. The bridge was built using Micro Engineering plate girders atop (Pre-Size) random stone bridge piers. The bridge was weathered using a mix of Dullcoat, ink, and rust color chalks.
A tugboat heads out toward open waters…
Wow I really like the first one. I need to work on my water making skills. Yours looks so natural. I just love seeing Trains going over bridges, trestles, culverts anything. Great pics as usual. I almost caught myself waving to the engineer[:I]

This just keeps getting better and better…

I really like your work, Bob - I hope you keep posting this stuff. The bow wave on the tug is a really nice detail.
once again, great job!
Amazing Bob. Ok, so how long have you been working on this layout?
The official ground breaking occured in July 1994.
Amazing. Simply amazing. Great work, Bob.
YIKES! Talk about raising the standards.
Nice! How did you do the water?
Suggestion, like have room to talk, can you improve the lighting so we can see more detail?
I was going to ask the same thing.
Beautiful work Bob!
Alright
Great scene Bob ! [bow] Who’s kit is the tug or is it a scratch job ?
Rob
nice pic the water looks so real it makes me want to jump in and go swimming 
John and Phil:
The water was done using Envirotext (a 2-part epoxy). Envirotext was chosen over casting resin due to the smell factor. I once used casting resin, and had to “air-out” the place for 3 days! The only drawback about using Envirotext is that it cures perfectly flat. For waves, high gloss medium was used. To fini***he scene, the bow wake was painted with Polly-S white.
Bob…
amazing!
Again great job. I’ll also ask about the tug. Is it a kit, modified kit, or scratch built? Does it have a prototype?
Sweeeet!
Nick
Ok, I feel a little better.[8)]
