    I tell ya this is an addiction. I just finished two more Free-moN modules and have two more to go. I used Nagos MT as an idea. The other two will be similar but opposite.

    Good job. I have been past Nagos so many, many times. Behind the train, where the heavier timber begins, is a large ravine bridged by the famous Marent Trestle.

    Google maps. Scroll north from Nagos, using "Satellite" view, looking for "Marent Gulch".

    Here is a photo of mine. This is one of the MRL 25th Anniversary employee special trains they ran:

    So how tall is that trestle? And how long is it?

    Dang if I were to that in a module, the module would be almost 6’ long. The bridge span alone is almost 60” in length. The height of the bridge would be almost 20”. One heck of a module and difficult to travel with.

    Yes it would be! One of our group did the Gordon creek bridge located on the Utah Railway in central Utah. His measured 630’ long and 135’ tall n scale feet. This one would be bigger. The Merent Gulch Trestle is 226’ high and 796’ in length.

    Nah it will be a six foot module. Already starting the design. Most of the parts and supplies are readily available.
