It looked good in the CAD drawings, but once plywood was in
place I saw some conflicts. I wanted the river valley as wide
as possible, but the sidings in Albany Junction needed to be
accessible from the aisle. I wanted the river to be a couple of
inches below the tracks to make visually striking bridge scenes,
but I also wanted gently sloping river banks which significantly
reduce the width available for water in the river.
9: Space for the Santiam River valley is a bit lacking.
10: Crabtree Creek isn't the Santiam River, but it's
nearby and perhaps would make a good substitute.
