My canal at day.


And the other way round at night.

@nbvc: Aaah, oppie's kanal set - haven't seen or used it for a while but within an urban environment it still looks good. That ocean lock makes me rather nostalgic - with the help of marast I changed its width from 3 to 2 (just check the infos). That was my first useful work with the LE ... 

@sepsis: comrade, your skills are just legendary!

OK, now something from me. Far away from being finished but I don't think anyone else made something in Sc4 before - at least I haven't seen something like that:



Enjoy

Some very nice looking canals on this page.  Good job to those who spent the hours creating them

[JoeST]

nice canal nbvc, though maybe there should be a fountain/inlet in the middle to re-add water, after all, the lock's let it all out

Bernard,

No I haven't seen something like this before in SC4. In real life they do exist, though. Beautiful work!
Did you really make a bridge with GLR passing over the canal? Or is it just eyecandy?

[Nardo69]

Looks like a bridge, isn't it?

Actually I tried to make a bridge here but the rainmod didn't work as he should - either the whole town below got flooded or no water stayed at all.

Since the depth of the canal is a little bit smaller than the usual NAM overpasses / ElRail I used the hole diggers to raise the supports (saw this quite some times at canals and canalized rivers for maintaining a sufficient height for passing ships) and placed a NAM overpass for the road and ElRail there.

The rest was a little bit of LE work ("With a little Peckpeck here and a little BuddyBud there..."). I love how it worked out.

Great one Bernhard, I really love the way the river is built. It's very realistic to make lock in a part and dam in an other part, and we don't see that often in MDs !

Really wonderful

Some very nice looking canals in the last few posts.  I sure wish I had the talent and the patience to make canals like those of you posting pics in this thread do.   A big  to those who spent the hours creating and working on them.

Fantastic job nbvc, your canal is a really masterpiece

Pretty sure this isn't the right spot for this BUT.... looking for advice on how to go about making a regional canal system (CAN-AMed and not CAN-AMed)... doing one city is sorta easy, but I really don't know how one should look regionally... should it just be a straight line?  Should it twist and turn?  How does it end?  Things like that, I don't know and is usally why I end up not using canals in the first place....

So, I am planning a living and a shopping and a business area with parks and canals:
