DECOYNH, RSJB18, and MIKE G I got the bridge at York last year. I was thinking about this bridge for awhile but York made it easier because I got it for a really good sale price. However when I got it home and took it out of the box and set it up I knew it would not work as is. The two bridge abutments made it harder to work it into scenery so I ordered two girder bridges along with two bridge abutments from ( from Scenic Express ) and that work better into the scenery. I also bought two transition tracks to go from fast track to gar graves. To mate them I got gar graves pins that go from tubular to flat for gar graves. The footprint needed came out to more then 60 inches because I was doing an angle. Now on to MIKE G, thanks for requesting pics. When I placed the bridge on the abutments I found that with the scenery work had caused some kind of shrinkage or movement and the bridge no longer fit. I think the plaster wrap with the plaster caused the boards to sort of pull back or something. So on the one bridge abutment I had to take up the foam and plaster around it and now I have to reposition it. Glad I caught this now rather then later after I put all the scenery down. One more thing. A freight going over the bridge would make a nice shot but in the distance only the power station will be there. That is permanent. I only placed the Morton Salt there to compare the two side by side...............Paul
