~ Beautiful Bridge ~

This is a very long and beautiful bridge that I drive by quite often.  It spans 2 roadways and the Sheboygan River.

It's a combination of several deck bridges and a girder bridge.  Old rusty iron patina and it still has rail traffic on it.

The bases and abutments look like they could have been made by Chooch.  It's very inspirational and I thnk I will have to try and replicate it on my layout. (Sometime!)

Edison Power & Light II

I made some time for the layout over the last few days and it's amazing what a person can get done when they're focused and not interrupted!  I got the rubber track bed glued down and the track laid.  The layout changed a bit so I could store more full and empty coal cars and be able to move them around on the real estate I've allotted for the scene.  That's good and bad.   It's good for the stated reasons and bad because it created a problem with fitting the car heater building in where I wanted it to fit.

Out came the utility knife and after shortening the width of the building it should work out just fine.  I like it because it's no longer "Right out of the box" and will be a unique structure.

It helps to have a long skinny drill bit
to make the holes for the wiring.
I like to run a feeder after every turn out.

One great thing about module layout
building is the ability to do this when
you wire them!

Pink foam land forms have been glued down
after a test run of the track.  The power plant
and light house are in their rough spots.

A street view looking north towards
the power plant coal yard.  I moved
the Gazette publishers building onto this
new street.

A sky view of the yard.  You can see the modified
car warming shed as I have narrowed it own a bit.
The hill to the right is going to have a track on
it as well that will serve the freight dock and other freight related
business along Bay Street.
