Wow! awesome work. There is an old Illinois Central bridge abandoned some years ago with that same amount of charm not far from where I live. Looking forward to seeing a photo of it set into place on your layout. Thanks for sharing.

 

Thank you. It's a lot of fun to work with brass and solder. once I solder the remaining metal braces I'll file the solder joints, add rivet plates, and fix to the base.

Using HO brass rail and my own homemade concrete to make the bridge I want.

A recently acquired commercial N scale bridge is too perfect for my likes. used an abandoned bridge near my home as the prototype inspiration to modify my model.
