Do you have a photo of the finished bridge before you sent it off to me?

No I do not… straight from powdercoaters to wraping it up and boxing. BUT It looks GREAT!

That's funny Doug! My wife says the same thing!

I have spent the past year building or having built, so many bridges AND none of them are in place yet. About forty-five feet of arch, deck and steel truss bridges. These will be put in very tight places and actually form the “foundation” for the rest of the railroad. Lots of trees and other “hindrances”, if you know what I mean.

Daniel is now building a five-foot aluminum truss and when that’s delivered, the track laying and “rock placing” and concrete piers go into place. The rest is “easy”.:slight_smile:

I see a lot of shovel work in your future!

This weekend I have a 54 foot bridge to install… I feel the old back aching after saturday with this one…

#15
