Sean, That look great! Excellent work as always. Too bad I missed you by a day, as i was in Philly on Tuesday. Of course, it was raining so hard i couldn't even SEE the bridge when i was driving across it... Tony (20 years ago, 5-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

There are several nice bridge examples there, including a couple of curved ones: (URL) (20 years ago, 5-Oct-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.arch)

I've been experimenting with building elevated highways, and have several questions pertaining to such. I wanted to build on a scale of about 3 meters/stud, but I don't think that's an adequate resolution if I want to put in realistic curves, anyone (...)

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)
