Hello there! I wanted to express how impressed I am in looking at your thread. I’d like to point out to others as well, this is N scale and N scale is no easy task. I can see myself studying your pics as well as re-reading your posts. I personally enjoy looking at other modelers works. It gives me added inspiration. I model with N scale and do my best to Scratch Build many of my buildings. Finding solutions on how to build something is the part I like best. Studying your pics I get insight. Thank you and please continue to post … especially on how something is done. I love it.

Bubule - are you a professional watch maker?

One has to be reminded that this is N scale. The amount of fine detail is incredible!

Thank’s a lot Ulrich.

I’m Electric and automation Technician. Far from Watchmaking [;)]

I think realizing a watch is far more difficult than building this bridge !![:D]
