Kevin,
With the decals that model really rocks, we would have won first place if the
decals had been on the model at the show!

I intend to rebuild the bridge, how much clearance, widthwise does big red
need? The first layout I have been playing with, has three bridges, (all
the 30.5 inch size) two for trains and one for monorail. I can build a simple
second bridge with ZNAP, unless someone in the group wants to mechanize one.
James has offered to improve the tunnel/mountain, I am not sure if he can allow
clearances for 8 wides. It would probably take "rafters" made of technic beams
to allow the necessary clearance, yet be strong enough to support a roof or
upper level.
