That Erector set supported bridge looks fantastic.
For those using them, what makes American Bricks particularly good for railroading? Is it the texture? The (looks like one piece?) roofs? Those illustrations of American Bricks buildings do look good.
I was very involved in LEGO for about a decade. I think many of the current range of LEGO pieces make it especially viable for reasonably realistic builidngs. In my last year as part of the Northern Illinois Lego Train Club (NILTC) I made a module that was scaled to "Microfigs" . It's very much a compromise. Height wise, it's roughly HO and width (vehicles and people), probably closer to 1:64 or bigger. If you look at the pictures, you can see where the scale of textures, windows, etc might actually be better suited to O-scale, especially a classic styled 0-27. If you have a large collection of tiles and smooth roof pieces or use other other "SNOT" (Studs Not On Top) methods of getting rid of the visible studs some good effects are possible.

In light of my large backlog collection of kits and second hand buildings in HO and O-27 none of these systems (LEGO, Guideancetown, American Skyline) -except possibly Girder and Panel on our Christmas layout- are likely to wind up on any layout long term, but I'm finding just the idea of combining construction sets and railroading really enjoyable.
