Well I finally found the time [and money] to get my first BIG bridge done [one mre to go]. Pop over and enjoy it. Comments here are very welcome. Thanks and have fun :slight_smile:

It looks like somewhat tedious work but the results are very nice. I liked the final “down the tracks inside the bridge” shot.

Very impressive for sure!!! I was so impressed by your site I have bookmarked it for future reference for when I eventually get to build my “Big One”.

Thanks so much for sharing and congrats on loosing that 20lbs, I know how hard it is to do. :slight_smile:

Dave thanks a lot. I liked that shot as well. :slight_smile: I placed the camera on the rails for that one.

Altoona, thanks for the bookmark, I am humbled. :slight_smile:

As for the weight sheesh i forgot I had that there LOL. You know what? You are the only one ever to have commented on that LOL. Thanks for noticing :slight_smile:

Nice work, Stephen! [:)][tup] That will definitely be a (or the) center piece on your layout. Ain’t scratch-buildin’ great! [^] Keep up the good work…

Very nice work, Stephen. What satisfaction to create something as intricate, and yet as functional, isn’t it?

Tom thanks and yes I do think scratch building is great. One of the [many] reasons I switched to O scale actually. :slight_smile:

Seneca, yes it is. Not as much detail as i want though. I ordered some NBW for the posts and they have not come in yet.
SO still some detain to add yet. But mostly it is done. :slight_smile:

Thanks every one for your comments:)

Alex, thanks for the compliment.

Your website looks cool too. Hard to believe what you can fit into a module. I seen a few at the train show here as well.

What a masterpiece! Isn’t it great how, with a bit of effort, you can get exactly what you want! I too have had the pleasure of scratchbuilding a Pratt truss bridge [in brass]

17

Terry fun I suppose so, hmmm well mostly yeah LOL Thanks for the compliment.
Sue no no, no bowing, I have a wife now LOL. :smiley: thanks for the compliment.
Rob not really, most of all you ever need is a small book, we exagerate a lot to make it look more complicated then it really is. Think of mud pies on the beach as a kid and you get the idea LOL.Thanks for your compliment.
Ken, a masterpiece is a bit much, but thanks just the same. I appreciate it :smiley:
