Thanks Richard. I had the idea over a year ago but didn’t have a good place to do it until now. The upright rail clips are a bit hokey, but I’m happy with everything else. Have you ever seen larger than life sculpture? We have some near us of soda cans that are bigger than a car. This area will eventually be developed as a railfan park and the railroad junque will represent larger than life railroad sculpture.
Tom - Primarily I want to catch the run off from watering the garden and lawn that runs down the flangeways in the crossing and into what was a dip just outside the crossing. This area used to fill with silt requiring regular digging out. The drain doesn’t have enough capacity for a large thunderstorm, but being on a sloping lot, flooding rains run off quickly anyway. It appears to have plenty of capacity for the small rainstorm and/or sprinklers.
I knew I shouldn’t have posted this in two forum areas. Don’t miss the rest of the pictures in the other thread http://www.largescalecentral.com/LSCForums/viewtopic.php?id=6303
