I've just gotten back into HO railroading after almost 40 years away. I'm presently kitbashing a Micro Engineering 50' through girder bridge into a skewed through girder to cross a stream on a diagonal while conforming to an old DL&W bridge design. The plate girders are all I can salvage from the kit. My barely 3 year old grandaughter and I scratch build trees together from CAT V wire, florist tape and lichen and have a great time with good results. Scratch building with a 3 year old gives it a whole new meaning. Next kibashing/scratch build project on an adult scale will be a plate girder bridge from an old Susquhanna line that looks like it had to be shored at some point during its lifetime. More Micro Engineering parts and some Plastruc.
