Interesting Covered Bridge

I was cruising Google slides and came across this unique covered bridge and wanted to share it with y’all.

OK that’s seriously cool

Yea, its cool. But, personally, I would rather see the thing restored and hauling tourists to no where and back.

In its own way, its doing just that.

David,

In the 1:1 world I whole heartedly agree. In the modeling world, since this sort of thing is a unfortunate reality, I love seeing this stuff modeled. I think you should get off your royal butt and make one.(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)

Devon, actually I have some HO passenger cars that have seen better days. And the one club module has some track that is totally unusable. So my thought is to make an abandon passenger car to sit on Warren’s FUBARed track. Maybe with a locomotive that hasn’t been converted to DCC yet, just yank one of the motor wires off the motor.

Once again, there is a prototype for everything. I’ve seen pics of passenger cars, cut in half to shorten them and used as a backwoods passenger station.

Very cool. Nearby, I have seen an old flat car that is used a car/pedestrian bridge over a creek. Sorry, no picture.

Joe,

Do you know the location of the “Bridge”?

I did some research for you and this is what I came up with…

Its in Georgia (the country) on the road going towards Armenia (Samtskhe-Javakheti).

google map and latitude longitude coordinates. 41.431068,43.469472

I went to Google Earth and did find it at those co-ordinates.
