Modeling general discussion
I have a question about bridge pilings.........
Hopefully there are some bridge engineers out here that can help. I am building a plate girder bridge with 2 tracks on it, one standard gauge and one narrow. It is 8 1/2" in O scale (34') wide. This will be the type with ballast on it. It spans over a yard that has 3 tracks and will require 2 sets of 5 to 6 pilings for support. I like pilings instead of piers as you can see through them.

EMD 567 couple of questions.
I'm just curious. As this type of work is sent else where here in N.D.
1. If the piston bore diameter is 8 1/2", what is the diameter of the piston sleeve?
So an 1/8" dowel should be about the right piston size, or at least close, right?
My scale ruler reads 9" when I look at it. I haven't seen anything smaller than 1/8" here in N.D.
Also does anyone know, the length of just the piston & With the connecting rod (width & length)?
Detailed railroad maps
Greetings everyone!
I am returning to model railroading after a 20 year hiatus. I model interurbans on O scale and am looking for a map of Milwaukee. WI that shows industrial trackage. In particular I want to see the Milwaukke Road`s industrial trackage on the north side of town. I found some old ariel photos but they are not clear enough. My railroad will be free lanced based on this area.
Thank you in advance,
Mike
