Meanwhile, at Stonebridge Models...


When I think of you guys and lasers, this pops in my mind.

Also, great job! Amazing for a nights work!

Clearly you sir are on the cutting edge  :D of N scale, both technologically and qualitatively.

Awesome work.

so, about this bridge . . . now that you've lasered it, how scalable is it?  There have been a variety of bridges posted here in a variety of sizes in the same style, and if the CAD does all the heavy math lifting, you could be on to something.

I've been thinking about this, and if we narrowed the bridge a bid (and maybe beefed it up a little bit), it would look fairly reasonable for the concrete arch bridges the Milwaukee Road built at Rosalia. They also built a smaller one at Cabin Creek which be even easier to model.

I wouldn't mind someday building a diorama or Ntrak module styled after the Rosalia bridges. I just don't know the actual technical specs, so I would need to get bridge plans at some point to be able to truly match them up.

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

Just let us know when we can get our grubby little hands on one.

Do you have a projected price yet?

Patience, patience.... (says the ADD maker)
I thought I had a price but now that we are talking about making the sides resin cast the price and time frame will change. But it will be a better bridge because of it. Your vehicles will look good on this Jimmo!

I did Bryan. Thank you. What you want is of course possible but its quite an undertaking by sheer size. Also it requires redrawing the bridge completely. When it comes to adding to or taking away details on a drawing inevitably the whole project needs to start on a fresh page, so to speak. I'm willing to customize a bridge if its close to the one I showed you and this is pretty close, sort of. If you have it done it most likely will not have resin cast sides. Are you in a big hurry?

I don't necessarily want anything specific.  I would just want the one span but longer.  As far as the facade with the stamping in the concrete, I can simply mold copies from a master.  I was also trying to illustrate the depth of the roadway.
