Hi Mel!
I really love how you incorporated the custom bridge into your layout - very awesome! I wanted to give you a heads up about a blog Roger Farkash started: "Train of Thought" with a posting this week about the upcoming work T W/TrainWorx is doing for the York event. This past weekend, the UP844 was steaming through Texas and there are a couple of great shots of that magnificant machine.
Cheers!
And I thought I was doing good by having a 4'x8' layout in the living room. That is amazing! Very nice touch!
Very Nice, Mel...and you're still shopping at TrainWorx!
That is an awesome addition to the layout!

I would rip my bridges out to have something like that. Very cool!!

Neat piece. Adds a nice touch to your layout.
I love it! Excellent and thanks for sharing too! Your setup looks like a lot of fun too :)

Very, very nice, Charlie, but for your information, it is totally misspelled.

I found this on a link from the Lionel Web site. You might try writing to Aaron Fox at twtrainworx.com and asking about an American Flyer Version

That is COOL! Do they offer an American Flyer version?
Totally agree Brent and it's unusually great looking and unique !
Very, Very impressive.
Saturday night Fed Ex and the Easter Bunny left a 6 foot present on my front deck.

The whole box!
It almost took an act of Congress to get the box open.
The four pieces of a bridge facade for the dining room
The four pieces glued together
Close up of the end of the facade
The edge of the upper level before I painted it black so the details of the facade would stand out
The edge painted black and ready for installation of the facade
The facade in place
This was what gave me the inspiration
This is the result of looking at the product as advertised by The Trainworx Store. I called Texas and talked to one of their design engineers and described what I wanted. I ordered this facade which was an inch shy of six feet and ordered one about three feet long for my train room. I had no room for the actual bridge in either place but the worked with me and you see the result of the first facade. The other will be in the box for a while until I can get the train room restored to operating condition.
Comments would be appreciated!!!
