Yes, it’s the Campbell kit.Looking awesome Magilla! Was that a kit that you purchased for the larger truss bridge? The Campbell kit shown on previous page I assume?

It’s a pretty good kit, everything pre-cut. The gussets are key. it looks great I think.@magilla12
The bridge looks great and I am led to believe that these Campbell Kits are very good. What is your opinion of them in terms of quality, fit etc?
I will be needing a fair few bridges for my new layout and would prefer timber/wooden built bridges such as the Campbells or JV Innovations bridge kits.
I got all the bridge piers in place, I think I’m ready for mud. I see in the first pic what appears to be electrical hookup, did that connector come with the track or is that a single electrical hookup block?
OOPs wrong truck.WTF. Lol

. Hope I don’t screw it up too bad. I need to go get me a bucket of dirt and start experimenting.@magilla12
Your really getting into it mate - and looking good! Looking forward to you doing the "scenery stuff".
Get some good, soil-colored flat latex paint, like grayish-tan, or tannish-gray (or reddish-brown, if you want the whole layout to look that way), and paint everything in sight. Then start in with the real dirt and experiment. If you get rid of the bare plywood colors from the git-go, then further scenery work won't be near as time consuming (and possibly exasperating)..

Can I use acrylic paint, I have plenty of it already.Get some good, soil-colored flat latex paint, like grayish-tan, or tannish-gray (or reddish-brown, if you want the whole layout to look that way), and paint everything in sight.

Yep, you can - when it comes to covering the wood, foam or plaster - it really doesn't matter as there will be something put on top of it in the long run anyway.Can I use acrylic paint, I have plenty of it already.
