Can you provide some construction detaiksmsuch as is it made if wood or metal and is it based on an original design,etc.

Made of wood. Screwed and glued. Lights and powered track included. Not based on any particular design. It is measured precisely to fit in a space on the right side of my layout and will offer trolley service from downtown to my Cancer Center. While made for me, Dana consulted me on each step of construction. The color was suggested by me and approved by him. We had several "models"  and "colors" of the bridge to choose from and this one is none but a hybrid. Dana, or DR. H's Trains, as he calls his home business, makes all kinds of structures. This one, and the hospital he made me, a huge 14 story building, were special consignment projects. My layout is getting kind of filled up. (video on Sunday after bridge is installed) But, I hope to engage him in a couple more projects. It is 109" (actual size) long and 12" (actual size) from the ground up to the RR bed. There may be plans to knock out one end and extend the trolley line later. I am very interested in having some tall buildings made.
