The bridge and tunnel thread

[Mark W]

These were taken on one of my modules I did back in 93 or 94 after KATO released their bridges, the others are ME 40' Decks.  Nothing spectacular.

Hope to see some of these come to life again soon!

Definitely not to the same standard as much of the work shown previously, but here are some "bridges to nowhere"

Crossing the Galena River, just north of Galena Jct.:


Highway bridge to Iowa, at Savanna:


(Crap. I can't believe how much has been updated since some of these were put up!)

And then there is a bridge to somewhere...over the Rock River (west channel) at Oregon.

N Scale Magazine readers may remember this shot of a bridge/tunnel combo (based on Spruce Creek, PA):



Another study of the bridge:



An ordinary Pennsy-style girder overpass:



Now, some blasts from the deep past...  My previous N scale layout!  This is circa 2003.









...and I found this one from the 90s when I modeled in HO:

Her are a couple of different angles of my only accomplishment so far




Micro Engineering deck girders (modified to decrease the height) the rest is Evergreen and Plastruct shapes, and some Gold Medal Model x-bracing

The real bridge just south of Northbrook, Il

I wanna play! I wanna play!

Scratch build deck bridge on Thunder Ridge




Saved and recycled into "Wolf Bridge" over Middle Loup on a Free-moN module.

My Trestle module...........




Scratch build on another module........


Tunnel on my burn module...........

Trestle I built for the SI project railroad for the NSR magazine
Even got my article on its construction published in Jan/Fed 08 issue

Both a bridge and a tunnel.



The rest of the bridge.



A bridge on the El on Chicago's Loop.



The Hiawatha.





The Chicago River bridge mock-up that I haven't figured out how to build ywt.

Here's an old effort on a 1track module made form Atlas parts and Micro Engineering components long before anything else was available.



Here's a prototype bridge over the James River in VA that heads straight into a tunnel.



Now this is a bridge I wish I could model. Joso Bridge on the UP Spokane Sub.

Nice bridges!  I like that last one, seems like a good project

Holy Woodchopper Batman!!!!!!
I would be blind and my fingers worn down to bone before I finished such masterpieces!

This work in progress will be its own diorama for scenery practice and photography



This one will be part of the layout. 





Both are heavily kitbashed from Central Valley kits and represent two prototype bridges in the absolute middle of nowhere in northern BC

In process....







The way the bridges were....


The way they are....


The girder bridge was built just before my 1947-50 modeling time frame according to the builders plate on the bridge so that is how I am modeling it. Unfortunately, I haven't found any photos except for an aerial photo from 1950.

The truss bridges are Kato bridges with panel removed from the middle. The girder bridges are scratch built using ME girders sectioned together ( about 6 pieces per girder ) and lots of small bits of styrene.
