Chris & Vern:
Thanks for the compliments. Vern, the bridge is scratch built from aluminum and steel. Therefore it is pretty heavy and stays put without being secured to the benchwork. It measures 6 ft. long and the towers are 38" tall. The towers are a replica of the Newport Bridge and the color is the original in a light shade of green. Today, the bridge is painted gray. The lights are by Evans Design and what is not pictured is the two flashing red lights at the top of the towers. I agree with Art, the lights make a huge difference. The real McCoy is below. Please click on this photo to expand the picture and you will get a much better look at this beautiful bridge.
News Flash....... Just received an e-mail from our Rhode Island connection Wood Foss who informs me they are now painting the Newport Bridge to the original green color so that it matches mine .
