    Looking around the forum lately, I see some spectacular bridges from the likes of Mark Dance and Gary Hinshaw. Since it seems like I have been spending a lot of time working on bridges on my own layout, I figured a thread dedicated to them would be outstanding for everyone's viewing and educational pleasure. It will also get the creative juices flowing.

    Post up pics of your current or past bridge and tunnel projects. Scratchbuilt, kitbashed, or built up kits, weathered and unpainted, modern or old school... throw them up.

    I'll start:

    Up front we have bone-stock ME plate girder bridges, and in the rear is an Atlas C80 deck girder which I slightly kit-bashed to make it more prototypical.

    I like those girder bridges - aged almost to the point of destruction!

    Here's a couple of old photos from my Bend Track "T" module. Their a mix of KATO truss and ME deck bridges.

    Highway 68 and Highway 69 bridges can be seen in the background.
