I barely made my entry under the deadline, and I have another large project
that I wanted to include also, but alas, it still needs work....

This bridge is modeled after an actual swing bridge over the Mississippi
River,just south of St. Paul, MN.  I wanted to model a swing bridge as a clever
way to get in and out of the TCLTC layout without having the indignity of
crawling under  modules all of the time! (and besides, I'm not getting any
younger;-)

Some pics are here:

I also created a SOO SW1500 to model with it, although I haven't stickered
it up yet.  Finally, I made some minor adjustments to my Bethgon Coalporter
design (thanks to the GMLTC for their input:-) and posted them as well.  I have
managed to complete 7 of them, with more on the way (Looks like the GMLTC will
be able to complete at least 9 of them; so all of those together will make an
impressive train indeed!)

They are here:

I can't wait to show off a few other projects in the near future, as well as
an astounding design my 12 year old son presented to me for Christmas.

Happy New Year to all!

Great looking bridge John, and a nice entry point for your layout. And speaking of layout, how is it coming together? Is there a real "layout" as of yet? I'm looking forward to seeing it. jt (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)
