I'm going to give it another try. If it comes through, it's my Beichstahl bridge modification. Unlike Art's, it only goes over a lake, not a spectacular canyon.

Tom,
I can click on both of these as links to see the pictures. If you want the pictures to show up in your posts, you have to use the correct syntax, with [ img] and [ /img] (without the spaces after the "[" symbol).
Both of your links above are missing the "[" and "]" at the beginning of the line. If you put those in, the pictures should appear in the post.
Now, listen to ME talking! At first, I couldn't post a picture here if my life depended on it! I started using Railimages and I could NEVER remember the proper syntax for posting pictures. Then I started using Photobucket. Every photo in my Photobucket album has three URL's listed below it. The third URL is in the syntax used by this forum, and others. I just copy that link and paste it into a post and the picture shows up in my post. Since I started using Photobucket, I haven't had ANY problems posting a picture, and I DON"T HAVE TO REMEMBER the syntax!! Great for those of us whose memory is fading faster than a snowflake in July!!
Someone complained about using the "quote" feature and reproducing pictures in the quote. For those on dial-up, it must be a real PIA having to wait for photos that you have already seen to show up in a quote! Sorry, I never thought about that! I'm not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree when it comes to computer savvy stuff! It would be considerate to remove the photo links when quoting so the pictures don't appear over and over again. The only time having the photos appear a second time is when the photos are in a post on page 1 and the thread is already on page 2 or 3! Then it's convenient to have the photos shown so everyone can follow the conversation without having to flip back and forth from one page to the other.
I will try to be considerate and not quote the pictures unless there is a good need for it. Maybe others will do the same and dial-up users won't be stuck in "loading pictures" hell!
Darrell, quiet...for now
John--thanks, buddy, I'm REALLY trying, but the new forum doesn't seem to want to let me. I even used the [ img] [ /img] at the beginning and end, as I used to do on the old forum, and what I ended up was that mess of letters and numbers that you see on my last post. Fiatfan thought I might be using a Mac or Safari, but I've got the same PC that I've always had. Guess I'll go see if I can get some help from Bergie on this. Hopefully, he'll have some sort of solution. If not--well, no more pictures.

Testing the locked thread problem. This is a reply to the previous post, not the last locked one.
And just to stay on topic, I'm building a really little bridge. It's only long enough for one 38-foot hopper, and it will contain the coal dump unit for my old Mantua clamshell hoppers. Film at 11.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
It's kinda tricky apparently .... sometimes when you add the img tags, the http address gets underlined and turns blue creating a hyperlink instead !?! As long as you can get the img tags on either end cleanly, the pix WILL show properly.

Wow did I mess up. I wish I would have incorporated that bridge on my WP layout. There is a hiway bridge in the Feather River canyon that looks very close to it. When I seen your picture I jumped up and checked out if could squeeeeeez it in, maybe next time LOL. Your waterfall and backdrop really makes it pop out, nice touch my friend...John
BTW what type of bridge are you planning in the lower left, keep us posted.
Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?
Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.
Wahey, found it,,,
This is my offering, it's a HO scale Kibri girder bridge made of plastic which will go on my as yet un-built layout
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
It's no where near as nice as Mark's, but one day I'll finish my model of Nicholson:
But do have a couple of much smaller but finished bridges.

Stone Arch over Barger Run, made from two N scale tunnel portals:

This is just a pair of Atlas N scale viaducts spliced together. I added the steel strapping and rods to simulate some of the reinforcement PRR added to prevent spawling.

Fantastic work (labours of love) guys, very impressive to say the least and very inspirational... well I havent made any progress on my bridge recently so heres a couple of old pics of mine.

WOW !!!! a double 'S' curve ON a trestle, they were asking for trouble, great pics Ken,
Thanks Steve.
Have fun & be safeKarl.
Here goes my first attempt at posting a photo since the inauguration of the new forum format. (fingers crossed)
These are shots of the Algoma Central's trestle over the Montreal River, taken from the southbound "Tour of the Line" train in May 2004.

Hi There;
This is a trestle I scrachtbuilt for my old RR. I could'nt use it on my present RR so I converted it into a coal transfer trestle. I got the idea from a pic in a book where a narrow gauge line transfered coal to a standard gauge line.
P.S. The scenery isn't finished but I still consider myself A Model Railroader with a layout. (for cnj831)
Great looking trestle Tommy, glad you could incorporate it into the new locale, cant wait to see it when the scene graduates............from TT to MR.
Have fun, be safe and keep smilinKarl.
