Art I haven’t seen much of your canyon lately, Really looks great and the waterfall looks super great. Keep us up to date on the canyon. Mike

Best would be hard to pick… I only have two! Neither is spectacular in any way, but both are generally in keeping with standard Pennsylvania Railroad engineering practices.

The iron straps and rods in the arches of the stone bridge were commonly applied to PRR bridges in the WWII era.

The only one that has any scenery done as yet is a trestle bridge I built from scratch over 20 years ago. It is glued together with Goo and is still solid as a rock. In this photo my USRA 2-6-6-2 challenges a 2% grade with a long string of boxcars.

Don’t know if its the best, but it is my largest and I like it best because I scratch built it.

Wasn’t that picture just in a photo contest on another forum? It looks very familiar for some reason.

68

I really like the look of your layout. Very nice and inspiring pictures.

69

Dang everyone has such impressive bridges. Makes me not want to show mine…

Lets see it Aggro, it can’t be any worse than mine, and I’m sure we all would like to see it. Mike

Oh, for heaven’s sake, Aggro–EVERYTHING you do is a work of art. So show us the bridges, already!!

If I can get the photos to load on this new forum, here’s a photo of the bridges–newly installed–over Malakoff Hydraulic Diggings (also newly installed) on the layout.

Nope, and I followed Bergie’s instructions to the letter.

Now what?

Aggro, I tend to agree with Twhite on a lot of things. I used his bridge and your trees to get my look. I like his trees as well, now, how about your bridges?

74

This is a great thread and I love looking at all the great pics and I hope my bridges will be half as good as the modelling I’ve seen in this thread.

Just please, no one say that “size doesn’t matter”![(-D]

Okay?
