Again, trying to mimic the early scene form "Once Upon A Time In The West". But this time I used my Rogers 1890, she is Engine #3 on the Empire River & Western's roster and is known/named "Meteor".
Here she is in her usual suroundings. Desinged to get accross the desert quickly and still able to haul a fairly decent sized train. But occassionaly she'll be assigned the more mountainous regions along the line where the color green can be seen by a blind man. But Meteor is most at home in the arid regions of the American Southwest and freaquents Mojave Tanks quite often, according to her schedule.
Mojave Tanks also can be considered a Flag Stop on occassion. Some folks that are heading to a town not along the Railroad's ROW (right of way) Can board the stage here and get to where they need to.
Again, hope you all like!

The track is Micro Engineering's code 55 HO gauge track. Used to represent earlier light pound rail.
As for special effects the locomotive is meant to be sitting idles as though taking on water. However the technique you have described interests me, I may have to give it a try some time!

Yes, I completely agree. Though if I may recommend, I would suggest using track with Code 70 rail. Code 55, used here, is great in depicting earlier railroads, but some of the wheel flanges on models can bee too large and hit either the molded on spike heads or even the ties. (NOT GOOD) Where as with code 70 you don't come across that issue nearly as much, and it still looks like earlier rail.
