Wow, what a nice gesture

Bryan in OhioOGR Forum Member

Just wanted to share how great and generous train guys are. I was hosting my Tuesday night train crew last night and my friend Charlie says he has a gift for me for the start of my new layout. (the bridge, not the Hudson, I just had to see what a train would look like on this thing) As you can see below WOW. 4ft long, strong, and heavy. I guess he used to make these and he had one left and decided to pass it along. I was blown away to say the least and this will be getting a prominent place in the new layout design.

What a nice surprise. That bridge is going to be one of the great looking scenes on your new layout. Sorry I was not there to see the presentation. I should of stayed up there and did something till it was time to go to your house but I had to come home first but once I got stuck in traffic it ran me late to head back. I am looking forward to seeing the new bridge and the layout one last time Friday night. ......................Paul

That is very cool and looks great. As stated before it will be a centerpiece of attention on your layout. Nicely done.

You are correct. Hey Paul, give me a call and catch up. You newly married guys seem to forget your friends.

Thanks for all the comments I am still floored by this gesture and I just reworked a section into Scarm to bring this spot into the forefront and moved a water feature so the bridge will cross it.

Andre, he had it in a box and quite honestly I just thought it was a train to run on the layout, as sometimes we bring stuff from home to run on other peoples layouts.

Berl, I will try to take some pictures later tonight and send them to you.
