Hey Sean, This is awesome! Cool MOC and great exposure. One critique - are those 2-wide cars to scale? It may just be because of the light traffic, but they seem a bit lost in among the gray. Bruce (20 years ago, 30-Sep-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

Bruce: (...) Yeah, the bridge is a little too wide; I would have liked to used narrower base plates, but I didn't have any other sizes in gray. The real Ben Franklin Bridge has 4 lanes of traffic each way, plus two sets of train tracks, one on each (...) (20 years ago, 1-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.arch)
