Matt,

My 305 Tin Plate Hellgate Bridge finally arrived this morning, and she is in perfect shape although UPS was a might rough on packing the original box, no big deal. It took me some time to find the exact Hellgate Bridge I wanted at a reasonable price. I found out the original 305 Sand/Green Colored bridges with the Brass railings were going for some serious money. Lou made me a real good deal on his and we settled on a more than fair price. I will need to due some re-engineering to transition from my FasTrack to the Tubular Lou put down inside the 305. I got to admit I like the spacing of the Tubular inside the original HG 305, it does look good. Lou advised me that this particular HG Bridge was massive and I agree with him 100%. It will be a great addition to my Christmas layout next year. Some pictures follow below. The Library Table you see in the last couple pictures is 5.6" long & 3' wide, it give you some perspective of the actual size of this particular old Hellgate Bridge.
