Gentlemen: I've slept on it, re-examined my options, re-read your advice, and have decided on a couple of things. The bridge would be a little too massive and may scenically over power the rest of the mini scene. Therefore, by adjusting the angle of the way the lower tracks go under the bridge, I could shorten the span by about 5"and still leave the bridge as the primary focus of the scene without completely dominating the other scenic details. The Plastruct with rivets items I would really like to try for a truss bridge. Can't wait to start on it! This project may have to wait 3 or 4 weeks to take though as though I have quite a bit of other priorities in the vein of weathering and laying mainline trackage on other areas. Will let you know how I make out. <br />Thank You! Being a "lone-wolf" modeler, it is good to talk to other people once in a while to bounce around some ideas and give and get feedback on how to approach various things in our hobby. That's why this web site is so cool! <br />Matt
