Bridge at 69th Street

[Gary S]

I am using the girders from a Central Valley 72 foot plate girder bridge kit, #1903. On the real bridge, the structure underneath is closely spaced I-beams, but I used square styrene strip instead, because it is cheaper and stronger than plastic I-beam, and because you can't really see underneath the bridge anyway. Then I used thick plastic sheet from an old building kit for the concrete sections leading to the girders.

   

   

   

And a few minutes ago, as I was viewing the GoogleEarth photo, it dawned on me that i mis-measured the length of the concrete bridge sections. Made them too short. So, I'll have to extend them, no big deal, but a pain in the butt to have to redo them.

And, here is some landscaping at the layout. First is the empty spot in the layout.

   

And the added and carved foam with the bridge.
