Here is something I wanted to contribute. It is not mine, it was scratchbuilt by my friend's younger brother. A HO double track truss bridge (now decommissioned and out of service) made totally from PAPER. (Thin cardstock). This still amazes me. Each separate girder was made individually with all the cross braces ( there are thousands of them) within was cut out individually with an Xacto knife and Elmers glue. The rivet heads were embossed with a pen from the opposite side. And made all the gussets too.Then painted it. It would hold up 2 heavy Bowser die cast engines passing through with no problem. He worked on it evening after evening for months.
