Reply to "Automobile bridges in O Gauge"

A bit off but still might be of interest, the "Kentucky & Indiana Terminal Bridge" has auto lanes on either side of the tracks.   I plan to do a small version since I have memories of crossing this as a kid.  We lived in Southern Indiana and one set of grandparents, uncles, lived in West Louisville so my father would sometimes take this route.  My mother hated it with the narrow lanes, open grid deck, and skimpy guard rails.   Once we had a flat and my father used one of the emergency turnouts to do the change, while doing a train came across and it was a wild shaky time hanging high about the Ohio river.  Never again did my mother cross that bridge.   

As a side note some years ago the NS shut down the bridge to all vehicle traffic for safety reasons.   

My version of the bridge will be single track using a couple of MTH arch bridges separated by an Atlas bridge.  Then after creating an acceptable open grid road deck I'll have to detail a red and white 55 Chevy with passengers and a flat tire,...
