My work on the East Channel, West Channel and Pier 2 continues.  I am using a Sharpie to inscribe lines on these piers.  I am also in the process of installing lights in these piers.  Here's a photo showing the installation of the navigation light as well as the supports for the pier floor (Pier 2).

It's also time to start test-fitting the Steubenville truss (Span #8) to the main span.  First let's look at the main span sitting atop Pier 7.

Here are both spans being supported by Pier 7.

This is a shot from beneath the bridge. Note the bridge shoes / pedestals supporting the truss in the middle of the "pocket".

I must say that I am pretty happy with how this turned out. Even the coloration and weathering of the pier looks pretty good to me.

More when I know it.

Where is the backdrop photo from?

I have a similar scene and am looking for that type of backdrop photo.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Buzz,

The backdrops are a series of photos of the actual Ohio River valley.  These were taken by RailroadBackdrops.com, a forum sponsor.  They won’t be cheap but they will be excellent!  I can recommend them without reservation.  They work with you to produce the results you want and they guarantee their work.

 You should check out their website.  They have similar scenes.

George,

thank you for the information. 

I will look at their website. 

Thanks again

Buzz
