Some Folks have asked me how I make such realistic water scenery on my Swiss Flats Railway. I must say it is not easy getting layers of water up to 30 feet deep. This involves melting snow as far away as British Columbia and guiding it down channels to where the layout sits. Along the way various tints are added to color the water and sometimes boats are added to add to the realism.
Let me know if you want to know more about this process.

Fixing Pola engine house doors. The plastic pins break off, I drilled holes where the pins used to be then used very small headed screws to hold the doors in place. The bottom screws are loose and drop down into the pivot hole. They can be worked upwards with a tool to remove the doors.
Hint, use an Exacto knife to make a center hole and start with a small drill and work slowly to enlarge the hole.

I did 5 doors tonight.
