 DW, Thank you , the trussle was made from scratch (all steel) and the lay and design were my own. The structure is patterned off of a concrete structure apperence yet I designed it out of steel. I didn't do any buildalong pics unfortunaltely. But for a breif discription here is what I did.  First I took a picture of the wall scene them skected the design over the pic to get the porportions correct. Then I made a posterboard mock up (Template)  of the general plate.   From that I did the layout on a plate and cut it out with a plasma arc. The flanges are all hand rolled flat bar and the rivoted connections are all real, made by drilling 3/32 holes and using #4 finish nails as brads.   I built both halfs then made the cross braceing tying the halfs together.  This is a very breif discription and this project had over 100 hrs into it. I'm working on the tunnel scenes now. This has been quite fun and has really sparked my intrest in trains. His train is a 1929  0 scale and very detailed. Researching hundreds of pictures of trussle has opened my eyes up to the increddible beauty of bridges and trussles.  Keenan
