Happy Thanksgiving all! Getting back on here and following up to a few folks. Hope you have been enjoying some extra time to run those trains. I know it's always train season for all of us in this group but this time of the year really gets it going.
@Mark Boyce The bridge with girders is 50" long. Without the girders, the bridge is 30" long. I ended up not liking the lack of symmetry with the bridge on one side and the trestles on the other so I added a second bridge.
@Miggy, I do have to keep the trains at a low to moderate speed on the elevated trestles. My curves on the trestles are only 36" diameter so it is pretty tight compared to the wider curves on the main level of the layout. I mainly run my smaller and lighter engines on the elevated sections. I have to agree with your grandsons on the Polex. I do like those Polex Passenger cars! Also hope to add a GG1 to my Post War collection one of these days.
