Did not have to work the 4th weekend, wew..... So got some of the bridge locked in...Also my birthday month and the wife was so kind as to allow a new engine (kicking & screaming)  all the way. Also she came down stairs and leaned on the light switch, green LED's sure make for some cool pictures. Got to run, working on her kitchen tonight..

P.S. added new video to my YouTube site.. 

Take care & have fun as always..

Michael

Happy Birthday

Michael, That is a very impressive bridge, is it modeled after a prototype?

Cheers,

Bietschtal Bridge

Yes and no it is Fallers: Bietschtal Bridge Model. Actually two of them kit bashed together. So yes it is modeled after a real bridge in Germany at least half of it is. I needed a 7' bridge that was impressive. I think I will get that when I am done. Thanks for the interest.

Switzerland

Hi Mike.

The viaduct is in Switzerland, on the southern ramp of the Lötschber-Bergstrecke (BLS), Wallis canton.

Used for international service of passengers and goods.


Here, a Express italian train, called "Cisalpino" crossing that huge bridge.

A BLS passenger train in the opposite direction.
