That bridge can be made out of 2 inch foam, cut 4 inches and standing it on the 2 inch side. Cut out the holes and carve in the stones. Top it off with a 1/2 inch piece on top hanging over a 1/4 inch on each side and carve it also. Washed in brown acrylic and dry brushed in lighter shades of browns and tans. I have more ideas than I do space. The whole thing can get out of control. LOL. I use one of these to lay out the 4mm blocks, 7mm long.

Stewart recently moved his entire layout from NY to England.

That guy can build a nice skyscraper.

I was expecting much older. Those locomotives look ancient to me.

Nice work guys. Ulli go over to Pacific and check out the little hobby store/ museum they used to have a lot of nice train stuff. It’s been awhile since I’ve been there but it’s worth a nice drive. It’s on the left before the tracks. Heading out of town.

Eureka has an antique shop that I go to that has a booth with a ton, I mean a ton, of old train stuff. He has more rolling stock and locomotives than I've ever seen. The problem is, I've run out of space. I've officially reached the point of having more stuff than I do space on my layout. I'll check it out, Thanks!! I found a guy that makes backdrops photos. I'm having him make me one in HO, 36" by 144".
