Experience with a Bridge from Campbell

Tue, 2012-07-10 01:06 — Scarpia

Has anyone any personal experience with the 125' double track truss bridge from Cambell Scale Models?

Ideally I'd like to know if it looks like a metal bridge when assembled and painted.

I'm looking for a double track truss bridge, and I've had personal experience with the Walthers. I'd prefer another model if possible (and I haven't ruled out scratch building).

Thanks!

I have built a small hill out of ever-smaller pieces of art store foam core board. The steps are nowhere as near large as the pink foam shown in magazines. For an N-scale or Z-scale diorama. The question is, what do I smooth out the sides with to make a slope ,,,,, from what is now a bunch of 'steps'.

I used to use something which, when wet, looked much like oatmeal. I preferred Durham water putty, but now I want something 'right out of the can, or tube'.

With as much time as this took I was afraid I would never get the windows in place.

This first photo only shows 7 of the 13 windows per side and the side doors on the two 125 foot long walls

The upper wall is the exterior with the 24" wide brick pillars and the lower shot shows the interior wall with the roofs 10" X 10" timber supports.

Work continues on the mountain section - specifically the retention pond. It's amazing how much time this is taking! In my last post I had completed the water pour for the pond and here's what it looked like:

My layout is in the steam period, @1930. 2-6-0 Moguls will be employed. There maybe an occasional ten-wheeler.

I read last months artical on making flower pots. I ordered the Noch flowers and went to Micheal 's for the jewelry cones. The flowers were no problem...came from Scenic Express in a few days ,however, Michael's didn't have the cones . What I did find were small necklace fasteners that screw together. When unscrewed the female end is a 1 ft x 1ft flower pot. with the clip removed it has a prototypical hole in the bottom.
