Hi everyone....been a little while since I posted any pictures so I thought I would let you know about something I just completed. First the story..... I was looking for a couple of bridges to update a highway project I was doing. I had been considering a couple of bridges from Jim at Bridgeboss but I wasn't sure if they would work since I could not see them in person at that time. So...at the last TCA York meet, (April 17), I visited B & E Junction located in downtown York. The project had a very limited budget so Steve and Pat's metal 100 Year Bridge Company bridges fit the bill nicely. I walked out of the store with two double track 4 footers. The plan was to have two lanes of traffic going the same direction on each bridge with the bridges next to one another spanning over the intermodal yard. Then comes the first day of the York meet and I stop by Jim's tables and lo and behold there are the two bridges I had first considered...in person! So...it didn't take long for Jim and I to make a deal. Off I went with two more bridges! Then buyer's remorse set in....what the heck was I going to do with all those bridges? All I needed were two...not four! Once I got home I modified and installed the two bridges I got from Jim...but what to do with the two I got from Steve and Pat....UHMMM... One day a couple of months ago my wife said...."why don't you make a skyscraper from them"? WOW!!!..I said to myself....what a great idea! It sure pays to have a wife that takes an interest in my hobby and quite often she will come up with something that I incorporate into the layout. The pictures you see are what resulted from her idea. The new structure is representative of more modern skyscrapers that you see in cities and is a focal point downtown. Forgive me for perhaps too many pictures but I do hope you enjoy and as always I appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.
