Hey Cat

The bridges I want are ballasted deck through girders (mainly because the track I am using is all ready ballasted.

I'd like to make the layout longer,but it has to fit between the armrests on the backdoors of my Prism and 48" is a good fit with a little space to spare .

I could not reccomend this track ( MTL's)to anybody but it will let me get this layout up and running.

Here's the latest update pic for the layout.You will notice the riverbed is roughed in and there are two crudely scratchbuilt through girder ballasted deck bridges (place holders till spyder62 gets time to try his laser magic).The one on the backside is skewed to follow the angle of the river as it falls off the edge of the earth

By the way spyder these bridges are 48 Z feet long.

Looking good! Do you have a place for a huge warehouse and hundreds of tractor trailers picked out yet?

Rich,Some N scale ones would be great too.I can see a use for those on our TTRAK layout once we start building new modules (I may be retired but I still don't have enough time to start on those

)

No rush on the Z bridges cause I can always swap them out inplace of my homegrown.
