It looks so perfect? Is it carved from one piece or made from cut pieces glued together??

Gene,
Looking at it, I'm guessing that I did it in five pieces. It was a few years ago. And as I mentioned in the first post, it still doesn't have a railing yet. lol
Built a few scratch-built bridges on our old layout in our mountain house back in 2010-13. The bridges may have been the most fun part of construction!
These Trestle bents are my childhood American Flyer pieces.
The elevated bridge is masonite with balsa stringers
Viaduct is about 14' in overall length and was given to me by the designer/builder as a custom piece that I painted and assembled. It really complimented the Hellgate bridge and we were featured on the cover of CTT Oct 2013

Here are a few more. First is an overview of the south end of the layout. I want to show you the 6' double decker bridge (far left end view) I built from strip wood.
Has 3 lines below and a single on top with a switch tower to watch everything
That's a Black GG1
Foreground is the 'Ket West Viaduct' long gone from hurricanes in the past. The Orange 'PostWar inspired' bridge is a fantasy model that I use as a display shelf
