UPDATED VIDEO ADDED !!!!!!!! 3/7/16 !!!!! NEW ADDITION TO THE NEW JADA RAILROAD

Lookin' Good Alex  

Chief Bob (Retired)

That's also a great spot for a table top to floor waterfall scene with water cascading down from culverts to a power plant down below which needs coal traffic from the JADA RR. It would be spectacular!!!  

Alex, it's great to see some photos of you doing work on your stuff, you haven't gotten to do that as much as you'd like I suspect.

Nice job Alex, looks great. 

Looks great - can't wait to see the finished product!

Looking good Alex

Alex, what is the width on tracks? 6 inches. I was watching John build a few some 4 some 6. Hard to tell from the picture

K

Very nice Alex!  Looks like Ben and John did a great job...love the detail! 

Alan

Is/will be a great addition to your lay-out. Keep the updates coming.

Like mentioned, great to see you working on your lay-out again.

Sweet addition!!!!!!

Excellent !

Peter

Looks great Alex. I was at the club when John was working on it, but I didn't know it was for you. He does really nice work.

BTW, if any of you don't know it, SILK CITY BRIDGES makes and sells bridges. You can see a lot of them by going to our NJ HiRailers website. And if you contact Ben or myself, we can assist you in ordering a bridge from us. I'm sure Alex would help you too.

Alex,

Nice to see that you are getting to add one of the features of JADA Railroad. I know that everyone will be surprised and pleased.

Alex,

Looks great, I cant wait to see how the back drop area turns out, I bet it will just be jaw dropping.

Alex

Looks great. Can't wait to see the finished scene.

Keep up the good work ALEX!!!!!!   You da MAN!

Wow,

Looking GREAT!  Like K, I was wondering what your track spacing is.  Is it the same all the way around?

Keep up the excellent work!

Beautiful Bridge.  I'm glad to see you taking some time for your own trains instead of always working on someone else's.

What a concept, right Pat?  Alex is working on his own stuff!

Ben didn't do a great job.  All he did was deliver it   John S is known as the bridgebuilder.  Really he didn't do what the joke says.  He really is a bridgebuilder

Hello everyone,

      First i just wanted to thank all of you for the kind words and encouragement, It was a ton of fun to work on my own layout for once. But i also very much enjoy working on everyone else's projects. Today will be one more day on this bridge project, then it will be back to my regular work.

     As mentioned above, John S  is a fantastic bridge builder and i couldn't be happier!!!!!!!! THANK YOU

     Track spacing is 6 inches on center in the bridge area, that spacing does change around different parts of the layout. It's pretty much 5 inches around the rest of the layout.

 Thanks, Alex

  Hi Don,  There's a plan in place for a scene like this. It will by in the future on the other side of the layout.

Thanks, Alex

Alex,

The bridge is very nice. Where do you find the time to work on your own railroad?

Alan Graziano

Alex,

Looks good with a truss bridge in place!  Keep up the great work. 

Very sharp Alex.

Very nice Alex and love bridges! 

Wow Alex, this is going to be very different to your previous layout. I can already see where you're heading with this. Looking forward to watching the progress.

Hello everyone ,

I thank you all for the kind comments. 

Alan I don't know how I find the time LOL !!! 

Well I made huge progress today the base and walls of the harbor scene are all in. Next step is to create a bulkhead then paint stain and get water in the harbor. 

 There was many difficult angles in this build   

I just love watching guys like you build! It shows the rest of us how its done. Granted the stuff I may build may never reach your level, it really doesnt matter. I have learned so much just from watching you!

I can't wait to see this. 

Mke

I hope the tug fits under the bridge at high tide!   VBG    Looks awesome .

Looks great! I have a question, did you see the Metrolink set that Vince got? That was originally mine. 

Wow,what a difference a day makes!!  Alex you do some great stuff man !!

Doug

That's a very nice bridge. Does Silk City Bridgeworks/NJ Hi-Railers have a catalog anywhere?
