My latest project. Complete except for painting.
It is 6 feet long and 2 feet wide.
And almost 8,000 individual shakes stapled and glued on.
My 7/8 Climax fits nicely.
Very nice looking bridge …
Beautiful!!!

John;
Very nice bridge with an interesting design. I was once told at a historical site that horses and mules liked covered bridges because the bridge resembled an open barn!
I made a trip over to Steve King’s (another 7/8 enthusiast) place in Rocky Mount, VA last Saturday morning for a “battery/steam-up”. Unfortunately, due to the soggy remnants of Hurricane Delta, it got cancelled. I did stay long enough to see some of the cars Steve is building for The Train Department.
Cheers, David Meashey
Amazing and beautiful!
That is a beautiful bridge John! Is it a combination railroad and vehicle bridge?
Rick,
If a 7/8 or 1/12 vehicle fits, then yes.(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif) It can be a pedestrian or carts, etc bridge as well.
Very impressive. Should look great on the layout. What color(s) are you painting it?
Dang, that’s a thing of beauty.
Quite remarkable, John. A lot of work involved I can see, but a fine result.
This the bridge that inspired me. As to color, I really haven’t decided yet. But it will be something light
like white or light green.
Amazing work!
Awesome woodworking John!

Your work has become even more impressive - that’s a heck of a prototype to copy. Well done.
