Those are SPECTACULAR! Even unfinished-- you have an eye and a ton of talent!

Well John, thank you. Now are you saying the bridges are spectacular or the grade crossings? If you're talking about the bridge then I am flattered because they are the first thing I have ever custom built by looking at a photo. If you're talking about the grade crossing, well I have to give credit to Joe Fugate and his instructional videos. This being my first ever scene, I've learned all from him.
Here's another shot:
Here is the real location:

Actually I was looking at the green section back in the back, and the overall composition of the scene. However, the bridges are really nice too.
Oh, Well thanks again!
Zak: Very nice work! Now that's what I call modeling a real scene! Are you going to put a Norscot UPS truck at the crossing too?
zgardner18Oh, Well thanks again!
Heh- I know what its like to work on one thing only to get noticed for another thing entirely. However, I wouldn't worry if I were you-- from what I see, you are a splendid modeler. I hope I can live up to your bar!

Holy Cow, $28 bucks for that UPS truck. Looks like brown won't be delivering on my scene for a while now.
John, once again thanks, This is all practice for the day to come when I can have a real layout, and my own home to put it in. I've taken a lot from some of the great modelers here on this site and learned from them. I'm pleased so far with my first attempt at model railroading. Lets just say I've learned a lot so far.

Heh, well if all of your stuff looks like that and you don't mind me running trains on it-- you're welcome to keep it at my house !

Funny my membership came through today. Thanks for the response and I look forward to posting some results soon.
Great job on the scene Zack. Now there is no excuse for not participating in one of the Yahoo layout tours.
By the way if ever in the area my standing invitation is still valid if you would like to come by with your son to.
