Paul Foster caught a picture of the GMLTC layout that barely shows our curved
bridge.  I wasn't able off hand to find a better one.  Sorry:-(  Perhaps J-1 or
J-3?

It's that time of the year again for me to start planning my Christmas train
layout and one idea that hit me was a curved bridge.  I've been thinking of
using a simple 90' arc with no straight rails between the curved to extend
the arc length.  I would stick on the ends the Basic-Technic bridge and
possibly shortened Technic without the top arch.  (Go to the bottom to see
the bridge photos on my cruddy site.

bridge, not two split by hillside.
