Nice work! Just got done putting in a single tower span in HOn3. It's pretty satisfying to see a train roll across it once you get everything working and the scenery roughed-in.

BTW, I made the pic into a hot link:

The Blue Canyon Trestle
Posted by caldreamer on Tuesday, August 13, 2013 9:53 PM

 I m making progress on my N scale Golden State Railroad/  I just completed the  Blue Canyon testle.  I used the Micro Engineering tall steel trestle kit for the trestles and center two spans, but due to the length I had to scratch build the outer spans.  The parts came from my scrap box.  It is the standard 8.25 inches high (110 scale feet) and 22.25 (296 feet 9 inches) long.   The branch spans the Blue Canyon down to the quarry.
