twhite Corey: I've already mentioned earlier how much I like both that railroad and highway bridge of yours. It's nice to see them again. For anyone interested, here's another shot of the Deer Creek Viaduct, also showing all of the unfinished scenery surrounding it, LOL! Tom

Thanks that's the look i was trying for !
Well, mine's not a train bridge but it is a bridge and it is near trains. This is my custom built freeway overpass that I made. The one behind it is not finished yet but almost.

Hi from Belgium,
The bridge over the LION creek on my Maclau River RR in Nscale named from my loved girlfriend.

I love threads like this one! I know I've shown my bridge before, but here it is again. Since being able to cross the bridge safely, I've moved to another section of the layout. Some day I'll return to this area to finish the scenery. Oh, and set up a properly staged photo. One step at a time!

Here's a couple I finished up last winter, BILL
Yeah, great thread! It's chilly here in the Northeast, and the cool air feels like the start of Train Season...
An Atlas chord bridge, in need of some work. There's a paint crew on the right side, but they've been pretty slow...
A small stone roadway bridge over a stream...

Here's one from the N scale layout I built 32 years ago (1977). The whole layout was hand laid code 55 rail on wooden ties. I had to give it away before I added vegitation, but I still take some pride in how it looked:

I have had guests avert their eyes when I run a train over it. My son told me when I installed it: "Dad, that's SCARY!"
Actually, I don't think it's as tall as JWar's Keddie Bridge, though. Mine's only about 20 actual inches high.
I don't know why 3 pics last post but heres another oldie.....

obviously I don't know what I'm doing with these pics.

Tom, that looks like a couple on the old NYO&W way back when.
Jarrell, here is one that is the opposite. Little tiny thing, but the scenery is done.

Although I haven't gotten to the scenery around the bridge, here it is nonetheless .

Not my bridge(s) but a train show module from a club out of Dallas, nice eye candy.

Lots of spectacular stuff on here - especially yours Dr. Wayne, with the current ripples by the piers.
My layout topography doesn't accommodate anything very large, but here's what I've got:

Bridges add some much spice to our layouts - as can be proven by the pics in this thread!
Wolfgang - I can´t really identify the sign - is it the grim reaper?
Doctorwayne - your bridges are beyond words - I to thee!
I like trestles (you recognize the sign? An idea from my son Benjamin ):
And another one on a module:

Wish I could tell you I built them from scratch, but I didn't. They're brass. Makes for great detail though.
Some great lookin' bridges, folks.
Here are a few of mine, with the first few pictures in areas where the scenery is yet to be done. This is a pair of bridges over what will become the Speed River. The upper bridge is owned by my free-lanced Grand Valley and is constructed of various Micro Engineering parts, while the one in the foreground belongs to the Erie Northshore. The two short girders are from M.E., the two deck trusses from Atlas, and the long deck girder is a modified Atlas through girder. The piers and abutments are cast in patching plaster. All bridges shown here are removeable as single entities, with the piers and abutments remaining as part of the scenery. (makes it easier to add the "water")
...and a reverse view, looking towards the aisle:
Another Grand Valley bridge farther up the same line, as seen from the south approach:
...and from the north. Mostly M.E. components, with a couple of Atlas deck trusses:
This is the bridge at Chippawa Creek:
An M.E. deck girder on the east end, then two Atlas deck trusses:
And the Maitland River bridge, with three M.E. deck girders on the west end:
...a Central Valley truss over the deepest channel:
...and another modified Atlas through girder at the eastern approach:

So many beautiful BIG bridges. How about a minimalist version?
A light duty kingpost bridge like they used to use in the Catskills a couple of generations ago.

There are some very well done bridges here, guys...I'm impressed!

Wow! ...... i'm impressed, Arjay, with the Canyon Diablo bridge model..... Also I'm impressed with John's Western Pacific Kedee Wye Bridge.....And Tom White's bridges......And Wolfgang's narrow guage... And Ray's bridge......And Driline's Bridge ...Phil's curved wood bridge......... GREAT BRIDGES
Edit ....James.... I really like your outdoor railroad and its bridge!
Edit II ....Terry ...looks great!
Here is my MRS. HIPPY RIVER BRIDGE....... I have posted it in this forum before. It has a length of four feet for all spans added together. It has homemade wood ties and rail spiked by hand.

OK guys, your bridges really put mine to shame, but here it is anyway:
My model railroad is outside, footings are made with Quickcrete, bents are 4x4, 4x6 or 6x6 acq uprights with galvanized steel bracing, stringers are 6" H beams, the ties are 4x4 acq and the rail is 12 lb steel. The trestle is 55' real feet long and has my switch engine with a short work train on it. In all seriousness, I've worked with N and HO scales in the past, and I know that the other bridges shown in this thread take waaaay more talent and patience than what I have. My (engineer's) hat is off to you all!
