Cisco Bridges: a new layout concept

Great work Scott. Love seeing those proto pics as well.

More progress.  The line was being inspected today and I caught the crew coming through Skoonka.





The concrete protection on the slope in the foreground still looks a little funny to me, mind you it looks pretty strange on the prototype too.

MOW declared the line safe to operate.  We caught a few of the first trains through the scene.  The foreground will be extended for the river once I get other scenery done.

I can't believe that I switched to HO when you can get such good sound in N scale as that first train in your video.  Did you add sound decoders to each container to replicate those realistic flat spots on the wheels?

Nice stack train!  Oh, and nice scenery too.

I spared no expense!  It took four hours to program each container into a consist.

No real updates due to travel, but I have shifted to using Flickr and this is a test to see if it works.

That works!

Thanks for confirming.

[Santa Fe Guy]

Yep works for me too.

I'm so excited to see this section of the layout progressing. It looks awesome.

It has been a while.  I went through a serious layout funk: almost switched to HO, almost tore it all out, and did a whole lot of nothing for most of the summer.

I'm finally starting on the completion of the Skunka Tunnels section.  Some wood, a little cutting and screw it all together.  The rest of the river shore will be next and laying the track for the cosmetic CP line.  Progress and a restart of sorts.

I can't even imagine you tearing this layout down, after the hours and hours of work that have resulted in a beautiful layout.  I'm sure it has its drawbacks, as all layouts do, but I'm glad it survives.  I hope you now feel the same way.
