    Jim, Yes the bolts were pre bifocals and pre cataracts. Your thru girder looks like a CV of which I own 2 and only need one somewhere else and my HOn3 has 24" R curves. I'm good to go. I owe you one. As I was typing I started to think of all the wonderful ideas that are in this 243 page thread...

    Is the thru girder portion a curved unit from somebody or did you bend a straight one? Blayne

    I just counted them in my bridge and stopped at 804. Each drilled and glued. I need to retract the word fond from my earlier post. Blayne

    This brought back fond memories of building the Dinky Creek Bridge almost 40 years ago. By Christmas it should be on my layout

    Good choice of bracing.

    Two tree trunks angled from the rock to the bottom point of the 3rd V from each end. The timbers should go at about a 45degree angle from the rock.This will leave 4 V's between the braces. Use an X brace between the 2 timbers from each side.

    All this talk of rickety look got my attention. Without the comment of 60' I would have figured out to be twice that long. How about another picture but taking in the whole scene so we can put it into context more? The original shot makes jot appear much longer than it is.

    It really needs piers. It's way too spindly this way. The rocks are fantastic. No , better than fantastic Blayne

    Not that anyone gives a damn but my grandfather worked there when it was Simmons silk mill and my father worked there when it was Shapiro & Sons bedspread factory. I remember going there in 1945 when I was 5 and riding the cloth spreading machine that my Dad pushed up and down the table. My kit...

    If you don't put the turntable in, a year from now, if not sooner, I look forward to the great photos of your scale work crew tearing up a yard in order to put the turntable in. The 8" will look better if you don't mind not turning the 2-8-0.
