Enough of the pond and stream for awhile. If you have a layout, or are building, or planning one there is one thing you MUST include. It is so common in real life that if you include it in your track plan you made great strides in model railroad scenery. What is it? You will never guess and neither will your friends. Okay it is a road cut. You see them on every highway, back roads etc. If you will put in two if have a good size plan you will be the leader of the pack. Maybe 1%, or maybe 0%, of model railroads I have seen photos of have railroad cuts. Try it you will like it. I always find a problem with layouts that have a good sized hill stopping conveniently at the edge of a railroad track. My little layout has one, but it would look funny with more. Large/medium layouts
have NO excuse for not having this every day item. Tank car is checking for clearance. Road cuts in #Two in my list of musts as stated in post 5061.
