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.

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!

-John
