 That works Thumbs Up. It looks like a pretty good sized railroad. Did you build most of the bridges and buildings?

HI BRIAN,

YES, I CONSTRUCTED EVERYTHING BUT THE LARGE WINDMILL, SMALLER WINDMILL, AND THE LIGHTHOUSE.  I USED TREATED LUMBER AND SPRAY THEM WITH PROTECTOR EACH SPRING.  SO FAR THEY'RE HOLDING UP PRETTY GOOD.

Looks real nice.  I really like those covered bridges.  Im thinking of adding one to my layout.  I was going to do a fully enclosed one but looking at yours I might copy your idea.  Thanks for the pictures

I love look at pix, especially since I don't get to play with mine as much as I would like.

I like the winding and weaving your track does, I wish I had been able to do that, I had to do a perimeter loop style layout so we could still use the lawn.

 

I did a covered bridge for our layout, its similar, I built it based on the Fisher bridge in VT.
