Of course you DO realize that for a bridge 'freak' like myself, this is a VERY dangerous page to upload, LOL! Thanks for the link, though--it's got some very interesting structures on it.

Wow! If you don't find the bridge design you're looking for in that group, then it hasn't been made.

That's a lot of bridges!!!

The October 2002 Model Railroader shows how to build a nice, stone viaduct out of brick paper and styrofoam filler. It looks really good, too.[:)]

That one shouldn't be too hard to build. All you need is some Lincoln Logs and a Shay.[:D][:D][:D]

Heck....looks like an opportunity to go into the tinder box next to my fireplace looking for structural pieces!! A great one to model!! I don't know if I can find anything long enough to be the stringer under the rails, tho......[;)]
