That bridge is so much hotness!
Couldn’t have said it any better myself.

Thanks, gents, although I do find it a bit perplexing why such a boring, plain-vanilla bridge is regarded as 'hot.' At any rate, with so little left to do, I wrapped it up this morning.

Very much reminds me of the Z Scale James River Branch...

Show me someone else's N scale (or Z) bridge that looks like that.

This comment hits the mark. A perfectly executed “boring” bridge is far superior to a  marginally executed “unique” structure.

Especially since there is an absolute dearth of good "boring" bridge kits beyond what ME makes. Everybody wants that grand truss or timber trestle.

But, your bridge is double-tracked.

Did you ever list your cheap MP3 players?

I keep watching waterfall videos and realize the sound of one at my falls would be nice and should be easy to do :)

I just bought 3 to play with.

Do these need an amplifier or do you just hook speakers to them?

Well I see it has an amp, but is it loud enough?

It's not room-filling, but for sound effects, it's plenty loud.

I picked up some from eBay, as well as some USB sticks, for ambient background noise. Any preference on which speakers to use?
