Thanks for all the feedback. The N scale train was on my wife’s insistence. She likes small trains and wanted one on the layout. I had to figure out how to make it fit with an O scale layout. Found the idea through a forum search and ran with it. Plan is to build benches into gondolas for the O scale figures to ride.
The bridge configuration is right off of Ken’s design. Really liked the presentation it gives to the front of the layout.
