Awesome!!! What a well done layout using conventional and unconventional building materials. Your modelling is very inspiring  8)

I scratch-built the bridge out of balsa & cardstock 35 years ago from plans in a Kalmbach book my uncle gave me. I think the title was 'Bridges and Buildings for Model Railroads'

You sure the posts on that coal silo aren't too far inboard?  It's hard to tell from the proto photo on Page 10, but your model looks top-heavy.

Man, I love your layout.

But, I think we need to sit down and talk about trees.

That hillside above the tunnel is SCREAMING for some tall Supertree hotness.

The coal dealer is in the 2007 REALISTIC LAYOUTS book.
