The Integration of Trains & Boats

[WesternOutlaw]

That is a nice layout B, where is the update topic on it? I really like the tunnel I spot, any close ups? Nice Cactus!

Thanks Macoco. Not to get off topic, but it's always nice to have someone take an interest in your layouts. I actually had to search for the topic because I couldn't remember if I had shared an image.

Here is Train Town 7, but I had to remove the small harbor to make room for more land/buildings. I left the bridge, but the desert and forest areas have been developed. The plus: Town Plan, three Creator buildings, and the large Mexican Church (includes one Mexican minifigure). Now I have to make room for the new Pet Shop and I still want to add a large Marina - perhaps on a different table. Still have the cypress trees.

If you're gonna add real water and a pump, you might as well get it set up so you have live fish living in the water. if you had the water flow into a seperate tank that heated/filtered it, and pumped it back up, you could have a good environment for live fish.

(big fish nerd here... has hundereds of gallons of water in my living room)

That would be cool. -biggrin-

Maybe some of those really little ones that like to school together. Perhaps you could have one of those mini sharks too.

eh, the smallest of those mini sharks get too big (around 6"). I got this particular kind called cigar sharks, and they are currently around a foot long. exodons would be great though. either that, or get those glofish things so you can see all the colors in the water, and it could be colorful like a lego city.

Wouldn't that be round about great white sized in minifig scale? That could work. -grin-

Last year at the NY State Fair here in the US, the Lego Corporation had a promotional tour come in for four days and I was working in the Poultry Barn. They had several display cases with various Lego scenes. One was a desert, another a town and last a ocean scene. The town contained a train. The point is they used either transparent plastic or blue glass to simulate water and it rested on a Lego stone base and supported all the scene above the water it represented. I went every day to stare ai it and pick out the details, loved all the scenes and the inclusion of the train was nice. How to combine them is something I'm not sure how to do yet as I'm still working on increaseing my Lego collection, but thought this was neat, got a couple lanyards upon visiting the booth.

In my city trains & boats are very well integrated:
