Nothing quite as spectacular as some of the posts, but here are mine:
Simple culvert over Webb Run:
Stone arch bridge over Barger Run:
Concrete arch bridge over Plaster Creek:
Plate girder bridge over Plaster Creek:

There are some very well done bridges here, guys…I’m impressed! [:)]
Garry: I used your rock technique on the module rockwork. [:)]
So many beautiful BIG bridges. How about a minimalist version?
A light duty kingpost bridge like they used to use in the Catskills a couple of generations ago.

Some great lookin’ bridges, folks. [tup][tup]
Here are a few of mine, with the first few pictures in areas where the scenery is yet to be done. This is a pair of bridges over what will become the Speed River. The upper bridge is owned by my free-lanced Grand Valley and is constructed of various Micro Engineering parts, while the one in the foreground belongs to the Erie Northshore. The two short girders are from M.E., the two deck trusses from Atlas, and the long deck girder is a modified Atlas through girder. The piers and abutments are cast in patching plaster. All bridges shown here are removeable as single entities, with the piers and abutments remaining as part of the scenery. (makes it easier to add the “water”) [swg]
…and a reverse view, looking towards the aisle:
Another Grand Valley bridge farther up the same line, as seen from the south approach:
…and from the north. Mostly M.E. components, with a couple of Atlas deck trusses:
This is the bridge at Chippawa Creek:
An M.E. deck girder on the east end, then two Atlas deck trusses:

Wish I could tell you I built them from scratch, but I didn’t. They’re brass. Makes for great detail though.
I like trestles (you recognize the sign? An idea from my son Benjamin [:)] ):
And another one on a module:

Bridges add some much spice to our layouts - as can be proven by the pics in this thread!
Wolfgang - I can´t really identify the sign - is it the grim reaper?
Doctorwayne - your bridges are beyond words - I [bow] to thee!
Lots of spectacular stuff on here - especially yours Dr. Wayne, with the current ripples by the piers.
My layout topography doesn’t accommodate anything very large, but here’s what I’ve got:
Few pictures of bridges at my LHS / Club K-10 Model Trains.

Not my bridge(s) but a train show module from a club out of Dallas, nice eye candy.
I have 3 on my layout
Although I haven’t gotten to the scenery around the bridge, here it is nonetheless .
Jarrell
Tom, I get nose bleed just looking at this one!
Jarrell
Tom, that looks like a couple on the old NYO&W way back when.
Jarrell, here is one that is the opposite. Little tiny thing, but the scenery is done. [:-^]

heres an old pic…
I don’t know why 3 pics last post but heres another oldie…
obviously I don’t know what I’m doing with these pics.
Jarrell:
I have had guests avert their eyes when I run a train over it. [:P] My son told me when I installed it: “Dad, that’s SCARY!” [:O]
Actually, I don’t think it’s as tall as JWar’s Keddie Bridge, though. Mine’s only about 20 actual inches high.

Here’s one from the N scale layout I built 32 years ago (1977). The whole layout was hand laid code 55 rail on wooden ties. I had to give it away before I added vegitation, but I still take some pride in how it looked:
Yeah, great thread! It’s chilly here in the Northeast, and the cool air feels like the start of Train Season…
An Atlas chord bridge, in need of some work. There’s a paint crew on the right side, but they’ve been pretty slow…
A small stone roadway bridge over a stream…
