#5 The Meandering Stream

Planned visual elements for Sunset Hill’s Illiana Train Society “Bull Moose Line”
#5 
The Meandering Stream



The cascading waters flowing from the upper Reflection Pond to the lower Mill Pond create a soothing background sound for the “Bull Moose Line” G-scale trains whistle and chuug to play against. Although visuals are an important part of the outdoor garden, sound will bring the train garden to life.

In addition to providing continuous movement and sound the gurgling waters will present opportunities for additional spot vignette presentations along the "Bull moose Line" right-of-way

 Such as a working grist mill.



A group of shore side vacation homes. 



Or a functioning logging mill.
