5 Mile Railroad

Progress on the truss bridge/trestle that I have been avoiding forever. The scratch built truss bridge will get some additional weathering and toning down of the nut/bolts but is mostly finished. I'm not happy with the terrain (rocks) in the area so I plan to tear up and rebuild the area before starting the trestle end. There is a good 6" of foam that can be cut out under the bridge to gain height/space below.

The NWSL Spartan shows up now and again on Ebay, that would make a good starting point for an NPC locomotive.  You have to do the cab forward, you're probably the only person in the world that actually has a reason to build such an ugly locomotive.

Scott: Thanks for the heads up on the Spartan. I finally picked up a 2-6-0 on Ebay.
