Could have been that other Yankee scoundrel [John S] that stole two bridges. ??? Throw the three trouble making Ohizoians in a bag and dump one out. Can't tell one from the other two. Anyway, you notice all the type is in REB Gray. [great job Toots. jealous]
Ya notice all of this type is Yankee Union Blue ? That's the color of the alledged " stolen " bridge. LOL
Thanks, Chief.

I want to thank all of you for your very nice comments. I will post pictures of the bridge when it is reinstalled on my layout.
Outstanding and really Love that Motto on the sticker!

Thanks, John. No, I don't do custom work on bridges, but years ago, I used to paint flames on cars.
The bridge is gorgeous. I love the color. Outstanding job.

I don't think Buckeye is jealous.....LOL
Don, my bridge is 47 1/2 inches long. That post, you see it hanging from, is over 6 feet from ground to top. It is a Dual track bridge with an inside height of 9 inches. It is on their webpage.
Sorry, Doug..... It is NOT perfect !!!!! It is headed for the wrong layout! As anyone can see that is a Western Bridge !

That WILL be tubular track, won't it?
Frank, I have been seriously thinking about putting tubular track on the bridge. I have the Gargraves removed and I'd like to see the difference. I would have to cut some short sections, but I can do that. I think I will.
Looks great Chuck. As for Frank, I think you could be a spokesperson for Tubular track. O'l JLC would have been proud of you.
