One of the best known features of the so called "Pacific Extension" on Milwaukee Road is the still existing "Eagles Nest Tunnel and Bridge"
Generally bridges going straight into tunnels were girder with open deck (i think that's what they are called). There are more than one on American system and even in the Appalachian mountains there were a few.
So I printed 3 bridges on my 3D printer, and this is what I came up with that I like. I think it blends in pretty well, and a few of you said that is what I should do. What do you think? (Everything is not in place, but hopefully this gives you some idea of the final product) I removed the Bridge track from the bridge that was there, and it works very well.
I printed a center support, but I like it better without it, and it is a short span.
Now I need to apply some plaster after the caulking has dried. The bridge abutments are also printed with my 3D printer.
Side note: This is hard to see, but I placed a mirror just behind the girder bridge to give some depth to the water I will pour.

Here are a few more. Probably won’t get an update until the second week of January. I am heading to Florida for a few weeks. I really appreciate all the comments. Your comments make my scenes come out much better.
( still have a lot more weathering and scenery to finish up)

It is a Henry Railroad tribute 22lr. It has the "Wedding of the Rails" Tribute engraved on it. Beautiful rifle. I'll try to post some pictures for you.
