Great news Rob! I'm doing some reconnaissance tomorrow (well, today, it's late) to see how many of these I need to purchase. I'll be emailing you soon.
Wow, I am certainly glad I finally tested the waters in Z scale after all those years in N scale. That is an excellent bridge and I'll find some way to incorporate it in the plans for my two layouts I'm building for the grand children. Of course I will need several for myself!
I think I'm going to cry. They are perfect. I am going to be broke...may have to consider the $55 ones to save some $$$...maybe even build them myself... Michael
Tim, Remember what Jackie Gleason used to say? "How sweet it is" Same goes for those bridges. Z just keeps getting better and better. Better not blink too many times or you'll miss something new in Z. Loren
Jurg, It is a good thing you included some SP in your pictures or Joe would have had hurt feelings and probably doubled the price of all future SP stock :O) Loren
Hi Jürg, Great photos, thanks for sharing these with us. The sunlight and your photography really does justice to this Micron Art bridge! John www.ztrains.com
Yes Jurg, I did hear a little rumor the other night. Can't tell though, Smiles coming your way, Loren
Jurg's great pics Nothing or nobody beats Jurg's great pics. Thanks for sharing. By the way have you submitted any of your pics to the model publications? if you haven't shame, shame. Jurg, I'd like to propose something to you. why not offer a color catalog of all your diesel locomotives in various scenes. Maybe a 100 pages of nothing but your loco's frontal shots, side shots, maybe some aerial and rear shots. Extreme close ups, etc. Boy wouldn't that be a collectors dream. I would pay any price you want for such a masterpiece.
Thank you for your kind words. I diden't send some pics to MR but the next Ztrack will cover some pics from my collection. About the color catalog, a lot of my pictures aren't that good for a catalog but I want to try it better. In August I've 2 weeks holiday and if the weather is good, I'm going to photograph most of my collection. I hope the next Diorama from John will make it to Switzerland by the end of July and then you will see some snow pictures.
