Wonderful bridges Chris! Do you construct them? Unfortunately I don't construct my own scenery but I use old tin toys from my collection to help decorate a scene.
Brian, that article was amazing! Old Popular Science magazines are a WELL of information and "inspiration" for future layouts and general "toy construction" as well. One of my loves with old antique toys are the "construction" toys themselves. They get my mind racing with ideas with what to build with them!(haha)
Another construction toy I love are the old Mysto Erector sets. I've yet to use one of the motors that came with them but once I figure how to USE one.... I'll make some nice movable toys.
Adriatic.... thanks for the kind words! Now I gotta see Brewsters Millions!! (haha) Those little Bilt EZ squares are addictive also... Watch out!!! I draw ideas for new buildings with those things almost every day!!! 
And thanks to everyone for all your kind words. I really appreciate it. I'm really happy you've all enjoyed my photos. I don't just collect trains but any interesting antique "plaything".
I'll try and keep interesting photos coming!!
