Here are the latest photos of progress today. There are three showing the construction of the deck girder section. The girder part is a piece of half inch plywood with 1” brass strips for stiffness. This then is covered with styrene sheet and angles. The ties were cut from strip wood, stained and the rails spiked down. The others show the section installed. At some point there will be catenary added and the whole structure will be weathered lightly. The whole thing is quite sturdy. I pulled down on it and nothing gave.
