Thank you Kevin. That Trestle you did is really something. Great job! Man that has to be a lot of sticks in that bridge. All that work around the house you've been doing has been looking great too
P.S. if you don't mind me asking, how long did that bridge take you?
TF
Popcorn, whisky and the Captain for the timber bridge project indeed! That's funny stuff Brent
Between the glue and the shots on the table I hope we wouldn't get them confused
Just got back a bit ago from taking Judy out for a dinner and dessert thing.
Rich I'm glad you're showing up with the other bottle of whiskey cuz I heard it's best to sample the one with the (E) second. Brent's whisky the (e) is silent, so that's the one you want to sample first. That could be the one that gets you
Track fiddlerGOT THE BRIDGE DONE!
That is an A+ awesome looking bridge.
You should be very proud of the results from your effort.

I built this one in N scale back in 1992. I still have not recharged enough to attempt another one!

Living the dream.

What's the hold-up TF we're waitin.

Thank you Mark. I was checking out your website. Some great modeling you're doing down there All those elevations on the middle past, Wow! and I saw you have a creeper.
I didn't notice too many areas you need it on your current modeling. Those things come in handy though, I seen my friend Gary using his. That big yard looks like it's going to be fun.
Good job, Track Fiddler!
But don't rest on your laurels - what's next?

Thanks Dave. It's a bridge but I didn't design and build a rotisserie layout like you did for crying out loud
Thanks Sheldon. When you have your space finished I know a master carpenter such as yourself will bang out that bench work like there's no tomorrow.
Yes, very nice work. Has me itcing to get started on my layout. Still getting the space ready.

Dave
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Thanks Rich

Good morning
I was a bit overwhelmed this morning with all the great Kudos here. Ya put a big smile on this old carpenter boys face over coffee. Thanks guys
I've always been fascinated with bridges since I was a Kid. My favorite part of this great hobby is building them and I'm getting psyched about getting closer to being done. I'm thinking I'll miss building them when I'm finished though.
Thanks again guys
Very nice work.

LOOKING GREAT . KEEP IT GOING.
Now you're just really showin off TF. Amazing work. Looks great.
This has been a great thread, I have enjoyed watching your progress.
Track fiddlerThese silly little keystones took over 2 hours
I happy to see I'm not the only "Nutter" on the Forum.
Well done Mr.TF.

Thank you for the very kind compliments this morning
It took more than two hours with my glitchy phone to post all the pictures sharing progress. So your compliments were very much appreciated afterwards.
Great looking results, TF.
Your patience and perserverance is admirable.

Hi TF,
I have to say that your bridge is absolutely exceptional!! The detail that you have added recently fits perfectly and looks great. Also, the fact that the bridge is curved and varies in width makes your work all that more amazing!
My layout is currently designed to be all on one level. There will be four short bridges over a water feature, but your work is sort of tempting me to toss all my plans and do something in which over/under bridges will play a part.
Cheers!!
TF, I've got to tell you that you have made one of the best-looking model bridges I have seen. Great work!
