    Here is my scratch built ballasted through-type plate girder bridge over Salado Creek. There's a low water crossing and a sand bar, too. Other good pictures have been posted for this contest. :thumbs_up:

    Bridges?

    Yeah, I might have a few bridges...

    Pardon the picture quality, I need to invest in a tripod.

    Not sure how to edit my post. Plus I'm replying from a different computer than the one I posted my pictures from so I can't repost (at least not until this evening). So to speed things along, I choose pic #22 (the first thumbnail in my first post). Sorry for not paying attention earlier.

    Thanks again. I didn't see the "go advanced" button the first time, but that's what I get for trying to steal a few minutes of work time between meetings and appointments.

    I'll read the rules first the next time. As Homer would say.. "D'oh!".

    This was a fun one to vote on because I got to see all the modeling efforts. I am getting motivated to get somewhere on my layout. I am still in the middle of the pin-it-to-a-sheet-of-rigid-insulation stage, where I am working on seeing what sorts of track arrangements work and which don't. Medium radius turnouts (in my case, Peco) are not the best for running through at high speeds, for example. It's not the fault of the turnout but that it's just too tight of a radius.

    These are some great layouts, shots, modeling efforts...
