Show me another wood model.
Highways on my layout are wider in the foreground and narrower in the background to force the perspective. In the first photo, the bridge is more narrow in the background with the trusses closer together than in the foreground.
Please show a model made from wood.

Nice picture of the WP! Kindred spirits to the D&RGW since those eastbound freight trains were next seen crossing the Rockies while the connection was friendly!
As an aside, when I was a student at California State University at Sacramento in the late 70's, my room mate worked for a while for the WP. He came from a long line of WP employee's, including his father and grandfather.

Ah... I see that you get your track from the same place I do. That is to say, the previous layout! As far as unusual bench work goes, I'm kinda fond of this shot, although a more recent picture would be much better. The lowest level is not yet shown on this photo, but it would be a single track with the Courtland Street Station on it, just outboard of the fascia. Going up from there is the Nevins Street Station, the Lenox Avenue Station, the 8th Street Station, and Coney Island on the top level. In the distance on the north wall the elevated structure to the 242nd Street station can be seen.
I needed to raise the Thomas Sub about 7" to reach the shelf with Elkins Yard on it, but I didn't want to gobble up a lot of room with a typical 36" diameter helix (N scale). I squished the helix down to 24", understanding that the Thomas Sub wouldn't be entertaining any 6 axle power or long autoracks and such. Still, I held my breath as I sent the first train of coal hoppers around the twist.
It's worked almost flawlessly ever since. One trick I employed was extending the lowest level into a 30" x 24" oval, the second level is 27" x 24", and top is a 24" diameter circle. The layout is in the attic, so this extends the helix into the space below the roof line without getting in the way of the scenery in front, which I'm now just starting to plan.
The line you see at the right coming out of the portal is the top of the helix. The sky board is wrapped around it. I have access through the top and bottom in case something bad happens in there, which so far, hasn't.
Now show me one of the engineering miracles of your benchwork!

Dullcoating my Dash8-32BWH after all the effort, & having it let loose off it's mount & destroying the Conductors side cab corner & grenading the reat truck components.. This picture shows the cab somewhat straightened, but the windsheild glazing is where the toilet should be.. It took a long time & a couple replacement MU sockets too.. The crash took the wind out of my sails for sure...
It didn't stop me from 'over posting' it though... I guess...
Show Me Something that was an Unexpected Success!!!
That is when the artistic comes out, apply a 2x4 (tall ways) & dowels & crossplanking & you got a corner 3D trestle, in action!!! Seriously, like those 3D paintings with relief bridges in the "**" (politically correct) restaurants, thay are cool as that curve can be!!! Run with it! Motley & I voted, "So We Say, So Say We All !!!!
Dont forget the river swash paint on the floor, for effect!
