Truss Bridges
Having looked at a lot of railroad bridges (truss bridges in this case) I have noticed that a huge amount of them are "skewed" (well even the none trusses tend to be skewed)
A good example of this is the C&O Bridge(s) at Hawks Nest West Virginia in the New River Gorge.
However with the exception of brass there are no options for this in HO scale that I know of. (the scale I model so that is what I know about)
Light Soffit from Gatorfoam
I recently added 28 feet of soffit to my N Scale Mooers Junction Railroad. I constructed one 13 1/2 foot section ( weighing 22 lbs) with a truss assembly that lets me rest on my backdrop on one end and molding on the other. The other 15 foot section uses no framing and weighs less than 10 lbs. This also is constructed without attaching to the apartment walls.

Question: Reporting marks
When did the practice of blocking out other RRs reporting marks/ heralds begin?
Moderator note: Edited the subject and question line a bit to make it more likely to get a useful response.
1900 models - or a little bit older
Three new models in my stock ...
... old time 27' drop bottom gondolas of NYO&W where the prototypes were built in 1890.
Nice models but with need of some repairs and additions.
Richlawn RR V1 - History of moving the return loop
This is old history from my previous layout where I ran across these pictures today and thought that someone might find it interesting. In this posting I'm moving my return loop from inside the alcove to outside of the room to be re-assembled. This was so that I could make room for my new industries in the alcove.
