I have a Walthers single track truss bridge towards the back of my layout (it spans part of a window opening), and I gave it a coat of Polly Scale grimy black. It has enough gray in it that it gives the bridge a bit of an 'off in the distance' look. When I get around to it, I'll add some weathering with the Bragdon Weathering Chalks I picked up recently (and love using!). <br /> <br />One thing you'll want to add to the bridge after you lay down the base color is some darker black on the girders over the track, to represent staining from smoke and diesel soot over the years. And of course a streak of Oily Black down the center of the track to represent the oil drips from the locos. <br /> <br />
