Thanks guys. Sorry I've not responded back sooner but I've been out of town...
The pictures are great... all of them.
Stein, I like the shot of the small harbor right at the edge of the layout. The portable crane is a good idea for loading/unloading. I also checked out each photo in each link you supplied. There is some really neat stuff there and fodder for lots of ideas. Thanks for taking the time to do that. I got the best ideas from the terminal shots. One of those taken from an aerial perspective looked like the river was really ripping along based on the amount of white water. I'm guessing there wasn't much barge activity that day.
Sgt. Carl, I never really thought about what you'd ship on a barge other than coal and garbage. It makes complete sense now that you talk about all of those other things.
Ralph, thanks for the shots of your dock as well. Good stuff. Do you find that you have to dust the water often to keep it looking like water?
