This is as much a prototype question as a modeling one. I'm about to build a deck girder bridge from a CV kit (HO gauge) but should make it offset or skewed as the upper mainline passes over the lower track at a small angle. If it were a crossing it would be about 25 degrees. <br />Anyhow the question is: where should the larger bridge ties end and the normal track ties start at each end? Given that the girders are offset a bunch do I continue the bridge ties onto the roadbed or stop them at the end of the shorter girder? <br />I assume that the abutments and bridge should be skewed - right? ...Given the sharp angle of the tracks. <br />Walt
