Thanks Rich for the great BNSF shot, that's a new one on me. I've scanned over quite a few pictures on the "entire-net" to see what all was available and the BNSF shot I haven't seen before, the other one I have. The problem is though, is that the individual bridges are arched, where as all American protoype models are not. Like I said earlier the only arched type steel Pratt bridge is one imported by OMI although it's very nice, it's also very expensive and very unaffordable. The Deck bridges are of course a "shoe-in" for the Micro Engineering ones but everything else is gonna have to either built from scratch or adapted somehow from an existing kit. I'm currently toying with a couple of Central Valley kits but it is of a different type, it's a straight through rather than an arched type. Also the bridges on the SP&S are of a much heavier design than the CV bridge. It was made based on an SP prototype if I remember correctly. Thanks for the response and any ideas or suggestions are most welcome!!! Take care... <br /> <br /> John
