This is a view inside my mountain. I made it so kids could duck under and come up inside:
took these also…
a tunnel portal:
a bridge abutment:
some scenery:
Great view for thos of us still trying to figure out how this is done. The scenery is something to be proud of. I love the weeds and ivy under the bridge abutment.
Very Very Nice!!! Doing a great job with the Scenery!

I could not post pictures for a very long time. I think the problem was the website I was using for “hosting” (a place to upload ans store the photos). My computer has too many security features.
I finally found a website called Shutterfly
http://www.shutterfly.com/home/signin_member.jsp
which is free because they hope you’ll order photo prints someday. I did, and the service is fast and cheap.
Sign up there, take some digital photos, and upload them. To post one of these it’s easiest to run 2 Internet browser sessions at the same time (run Internet Explorer twice and tile both windows). One window has your photo album and the other window has the forum reply.
Then on the Shutterfly site view one of your pictures alone (big size so it posts big). Right-click the photo and select or highlight the “address URL”
Copy this info (hold Ctrl, press “C” for copy), switch to the forum reply box and type the following without spaces inside the brackets.
[ i m g ]Ctrl+V will paste the photo address here[ / i m g]
Repeat forever so we can see your pictures. Have fun!
Now I’ve got to post more since I’ve got Shutterfly open…
Dam nice job! Love that big gully!!!

Tbat55 where did u get those bridges scratch made or kits?
Walthers Double Truss Bridge kit (and Code 83 bridge track) on Chooch abutments. Chooch doesn’t make a double track pier so I cut and spliced 2 single piers. Deck girder bridges into truss are kits from Micro Engineering.
The single track deck girder bridge is made from ME and Central Valley parts. It’s on an 18"R curve so I used 3 girders and wood trestle supports. It leads into a blasted rock portal. This track is modeled as abandoned with plenty of weeds. The idea is the railroad built this fast and cheap, but later added the double tracks for heavier locos.
