    beautiful hein, can't wait to build my steel viaduct on my new layout, I want a very similar modern style like yours. What kit did you bash again? The N scale one you said right? Also how did you get the rail liners in on the bridge so the train can re-rail and ride super smooth over bridge.

    Great work man, I love your work. You and the Baz boyz know how to model for sure!

    A+ Cant wait to see the water added. Def go with the realistic Magic Water for that nice real ripply look.

    HIEN ! That will be a true centerpiece at NTS !

    I'll stop by tonite to see it !

    Matt: the re-railers can be made from bare rail (Micro-Engineering or strip from MTL flex buy cutting the plastic rail 'spikes', NOT ripping the rail out of the plastic). Put some .040 styrene strip between it and the main rail to space it straight, carefully CA the rail down (without gluing the styrene strip too). Make sure the 2 re-railers don't touch each other where the come 'together' at the ends, otherwise you can get a short when metal wheel trucks roll through.

    Hien, for my UP caboose I have used 0.25 mm glas fiber. I have the colored ends with Kristal Klear which was colored with watercolor paint. This might also work for signals. See attached image.
