Really impressive inspiring bridgework. Thanks to all who have posted.

I designed and 3D printed this HO-scale bridge. Nothing prototypical about it.
I think the frames are too thick, obscuring the view too much, so I will probably improve the design and print a new one.
It is a 2-level bridge, the site is still under construction
The bridge in the foreground is completely scratch build 12 years ago. The one in the background started as a tyco bachmann truss bridge. Joined together to make a double track bridge. most of the members cut out and more scale ones put in. I did that with a second one as well.

Here's another Central Valley truss plus girder bridge combo. Scratch built is beyond my current ambition, but I admire the excellent, imaginative work shown.
