A lengthened and enhanced Walthers double-track .. the bridge still exists but the layout was torn down last year.

Nice scene Mark!
A couple of shots I took on my friend Mark Lestico's Cascade Sub here in SoCal. A great layout based on the old SP line from California to Oregon, and fun to operate.

Well oops, I can't seem to be able to post the other photo, get a "uploader full" message, even though it's not a large file....hmmm

Looks like we (TRW members) have done it again.  It is not you.  See https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=34994.0 .  Maybe post something in that thread and  :tommann: will increase the hosting space again.  I have a feeling that Tom might rethink allowing us to upload directly to TRW.   :|

That would be a shame, I love the direct upload option.

I don't know what he will do, but space costs money and we seem to be using it up fairly quickly.  Maybe if we all limited our photo size to the forum's standard (800 pixels wide) or less, the allotted space would not be eaten up so quickly.  I also like the ability to upload directly to the forum (I was spoiled by the A-board where that's how I posted most photos).

This is the only one I have a photo of at the moment...clearly not on a layout.   :facepalm:



Want to see and hear more about this construction!

There are no tunnels on the West side of Michigan so I don't have any on my layouts,but there are bridges and here are two of the three on my current Z scale layout.

First up a rather simple scratchbuilt road bridge.



Second up is a slightly modified MTL Z scale girder bridge.There are several of these bridges that have supports like these because of their length (80' +)
