First of all thanks for having me. Ok here is a little something I would like to share with my fellow builders,I have always used woodland scenics water for my layouts.But with this new layout that I am working on I thought I would experiment with different mediums for the effects,and what I have found that using the product from gallery glass {crystal clear} works rather well,and for half the cost,and all but double the amount of product.You can find this at just about any craft store,and sells for about $5.00 and some change,the only down side is the drying time about double the time rather then the woodland scenics product,but the overall look after it is dry is in my opinion really good.So go ahead give it a try,what could it hurt,Hey if you can save money along the way,what the heck.Thanks again and remember,keep the trucks down and the smoke up.

Seagravetiller-did you get your name from where I think you got your name?
Hint: It's long, usually red, has lots of lights and a siren. And has a nameplate on the front that proudly says "Seagrave."

I've always liked the Rear Admiral myself. I grew up with one, so to speak, a '69 model nicknamed "The Bus," because it couldn't get out of its own way. It had a Detroit Diesel engine model 6V-53 w/ automatic transmission. They just retired it few years ago. IMO, one of the most well engineered pieces of equipment ever built. Open cab Seagrave Rear Admirals are still in front line use in Charleroi and Nesquehoning, PA.

Is there any chance of getting the SKU # of the gallery glass "clear"? The "Michaels" here is unfamilier with this product,so I could not even order it.
