Some homemade bridge piers, as homemade as you can get Embarrassed

The pier on the left is made from cardstock and the piers on the right are wood.  The cardstock pier/abutment is a temporary support until I finish the real abutment.  Still have to build up another bridge section on the right.

Show me a busy downtown scene.

Ulrich,

I saw some pics on Facebook from a toy show in Belgium that reminded me of your modules. Are such small modules common in the old country?

Not really, but it is slowly catching on. A nice way of staying in (or even entering into) the hobby for those short of space.
