4th crossing of the Kootenay River.  9 bridges and two islands chained together the largest bridge being a 150' through truss.  Different "portals" than the BLMA bridge however.

A serious modeller could easily modify it. When are we going to see the red barn showing up on your C&W layout, though?

It sounded like a good idea at the time... too bad the caboose wasn't in on the plan.

The answer is right under your nose.  Duplicate your Z scale diorama:

I think he means $3.50.    :facepalm:

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Not quite right by a far sight . $ 350.00 would be the number , though it shows signs of rust and lack of upkeep .

Maybe Cody could clarify. In the past he has described himself as a cash-strapped teenager.  I didn't think he was really offering $350, which I agree is a more realistic value.

Best wishes, Dave

That photo is what got me interested in Z scale. And a recent deal worked out between a friend and I has meant that i might just build MR's 2'x3' PRR layout.

I could have offered $350 if I hadn't gone to springfield. (I had $510 on me, $110 of that allocated for food)
Though I can offer $3.50 multiplied by 20 if I scraped the bottom of the cash barrel and emptied my paypal balance.

Plus, if i paid $350 for just a bridge my mom would disown me and my grandmother would slap me in the face.

It was only 400 if you subtract food, but yea, it was the most money I have ever had in my possession ever in my life. It is mostly because i didn't have anything I wanted for Christmas and I didn't renew my subscription to Railway Modeller ($111 per year), which would have been part of my Christmas present.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Guess it is a good think I am primarily interested in operations and layout design/construction and don't aspire to being a serious modeller.

Massive bridge scenes have nothing on Jurg's swamp scene with his Blma bridge (ya I know it's HO, but it's the most impressive modeling I've ever seen period...)

Just proves you don't need a grand scene for the wow factor.

Try going to a train show with a $50 limit. Subtract parking and admission, that leaves you with $35 to play with.
