Pingman posted:Stoshu, I believe the large bridge that spans the operating layout in your first photo, and bears the builder's name is, in fact, the O scale model of the 708" span of the Metropolis, IL bridge referenced in the link I provided.
@Pingman, it is not the Metropolis Bridge. The bridge in the first photo is, as @luvindemtrains says, the C&O's Sciotoville Bridge. (And, as luvindemtrains surmises, the photo that he found on the web is the same model. Here's the article that the photo is from, crediting Harold Virgil Woods Jr.)
Neither is the bridge in @Stoshu's second photo the Metropolis Bridge. The Metropolis Bridge has six through trusses, the tops of which are all rounded/arched. The bridge in Stoshu's second photo has five through trusses, four of which have flat tops.
Stoshu, thank you for sharing your story and your photos. Mr. Woods's creations are extraordinary.
