The Viaduct crossing

Here is a little update on my Layout , i have named the Louisville & Northern , Based on a branch division somewhere in Central /southern Indiana and Northern KY area. 

here is a few pics of the viaduct  as it is right now, i used Aluminum Square tube  and flat bar, next step is to add the details to give it the Iron plate style appearance hopefully i will have a few viaduct towers to add underneath, before painting 

it also is a left hinged  lift up for  when i dont feel like ducking under

All in the Southern Pacific Family
