That must be the bridge I bought on eBay.

I think one actual rail is missing. I see one track rail and both guard rails.

Had a little energy so I completed some weathering projects..

A pair of renumbered MTL ACF hoppers for the Great Northern's grain hauling operations





An custom decaled Atlas Airslide for the GN; flour service or perhaps gypsum....



Another Canadian Pacific cylinderical; constant spills and weather have conspired to rust the sides of this 8 year old hopper.....

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

If you look at top of picture on left, you can see all 4 rails, the one blends in with the steel beam.

Repost of a finished modeling project otherwise hidden in the electronics sub-forum:



I'm still working on getting yellow working. This is a Showcase Miniatures signal modified to use a micro-micro-micro LED.

On Pud's first 2 cars, notice the coupler droop. Bought this up a few years ago. One suggestion was MTL needs to retool. I've had the droop with Z905's too:(

Tonight before the snow starts I liberated over 4 pounds of Colorado dirt:



It needs to be sifted, baked, and de-ironed (running a magnet over it to remove ferrous metals).

Also bought and cut all of the extruded Styrofoam for the Colorado Midland tonight.  The plan was to have the mainline at 5" above tabletop, but I might up that to 5.5" to make the bridges more dramatic. The wood trestle on the branch line would then be roughly 7" above the surface of the Frying Pan River (table surface).



Tomorrow the fun starts...!

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Wrong you are.  Fun it has been already watching you prepare.

Finished a pair of pickup trucks.  The camera always highlights flaws and missed details like taillights.  These are about as small as I want to paint detail.  It takes a very steady hand and tiny brush.  Good thing I still have good eyes.
