Hello everyone.

        Sorry it has been a while since I have posted. Between work and the layout, I have been pretty busy. I am actually waiting as we speak for a large delivery from Scenic Express so I can continue the layout. With the help of Imperial Train Company ordering me much need supplies and especially the second half of "Hudson Viaduct," I have been bale to move ahead on the layout. Here are some pictures showing what has been done in the meantime. Enjoy. Jason

Your bridge looks amazingly like a real W&LE Bridge that crosses over the SWP.  Can't remember what town its near (Just looked it up - Owensdale PA , thanks google maps!) but around 99 or 2000 there was a turnout built that connected the SWP to the W&LE that was to allow SWP loads to get transferred to W&LE before eventually getting transferred again to the CN.  I don't know which bridge you had in mind but looking at yours immediately takes me back to running tourist trains down the SWP line.

 

You've done a first class job all the way!
