Yet another great layout, and video. The river with actual running water really adds to the reality. It's obvious that you are a model railway buff, along with a love of canals and waterways. Might I also add the sound on your videos somehow always seems very apt. Thanks again.

@pyronathanpyro - Hi, underneath the layout is a container for the water, 9 inches x 7 inches x 4½ inches deep (approx 229mm x 178mm x 114mm) with a small pump, a tube goes from the pump out of sight to the feed at the top of the mountains as you can see the water vanishes under the bridge into the hills. Here it just drops back into the container to start all over again
For those that may wonder where I got the bridge from, it is actually the top of a Hornby 'OO' wagon repainted silver.
how much one can invert in Z trains to have a small lay out like this? is pretty nice !

@jorasave - Many Thanks for your comments. I do have have some kits to build for the layout but unfortunately I am not able to do them now, so I will have to re-think part of it.

Two minutes, twenty seconds long - was that done on purpose?
(Hint: Z-scale ratio is 1:220)

@JBofBrisbane - Ha Ha, well spotted. I would like to say it is but is just a coincidence.

@pyronathanpyro I painted it the colour that I wanted with poster paint and then a number of coats of yatch laquer, while it was still wet I added miniature pebbles etc.
