James, Yea, I've had that book a while. My favorites in there are the Glouchester Draw and the Scherzer rolling lift span. I plan to build both models someday, but I'm not sure I will be able to work them into the layout. The Scherzer looks pretty tough. I may need to build it in a scale larger than H O. My biggest objection is that the book gives so little attention to the abutments of the bridge. There are so many little things I am looking for which are different from the way highway bridges are built. BTW, have you seen the new bridge track produced by Micro Engineering? It is 36 inch flex track with bridge ties and barrels for trestles. Does anyone know how far apart these barrels are installed on modern railroad bridges? Catch you later. - Ed
