 | | My attempt at a railway bridge
|
| Hi all, I always meant to show this - but didn't manage to translate the describing page to English. Anyway, it's finally done (the page, that is - the bridge itself is still a work-in-progress). Enjoy: (URL) not architecturally thrilling, but it's (...) (17 years ago, 19-Dec-07, to lugnet.trains)

As opposed to later versions, they are unusually worn out and the color actually seems to fade over the years. Can't say what material they are, (...) (17 years ago, 18-Dec-07, to lugnet.color)
