Title: Random Question for Bachmann
Post by: WittmanStudios on June 26, 2012, 04:35:47 PM
Excuse me for asking this, but I was curious on the water pump accessory. Does it actually work; if it does, how do I set it up and how can I make the HO scale river bed waterproof? Anyone can answer this question, I am only curious. Sorry for making a new topic.

The pump is a very small part of the project.

Making the pond is a challenge and making it water tight is a necessity. I assume you have the necessary modeling experience.

Thanks, I just wanted to know if the pump works and modelling techniques, just in case I may want to build a 2'X8' HO scale scene for some videos I make. Thanks.

You should keep in mind (for your video) that water doesn't scale down.  Ripples, waves, etc. are 1:1 scale, not 1:87.
