Pictures on the layout of the new TW Design viaduct...

Alan, you all have been very busy today. Looks GREAT !

Now I need to get off of my can and get mine on my layout. Really cool looking !

Its real nice. what is the kit made out of and could you post a link?

Alan, great job.  Thank you for sharing.  It is always good to see catenary wire.

Alan,

I like the tunnel motor, too. MTH?

Rick

Thanks Roger....Every time I look at this scene, it reminds me of the great time we all had at the TW Design "event"....

Dale....the kit is made of MDF.  Unfortunately, it is not listed in the "products" page on the TW Design / Trainworx site.  Give Dorcie a call and I bet they will be able to help you.  They have both double and single street versions.

Thank you Marty....you are the reason why I have catenary!!

Rick....Thanks...the tunnel motor is an MTH locomotive....

Alan

Alan,

I have one of MTH's Tunnel's wearing CN's livery. The UP paint really compliments that model; very nice!

MTH did a great job on their tunnel motors; they're loaded with lots of details. There's something about this particular model that just seems "right", proportion-wise... solid looking and built to work.

BTW, my CN unit is one of my loudest, if not the loudest. In a M.U.consist, it drowns out the other units. One word - STRONG!

Rick

Thats a good looking bridge kit.

Alan,

That looks beautiful, fantastic detail

Alex

Outstanding installation Alan. I am trying to picture just where on the layout you installed the viaduct. I noticed the fuel storage tanks in the background, but the location looks more towards the city area than the refinery. Perhaps you can clear this up for me.

Alan,

Looks great.  It makes me regret not getting one at the Layout Festival.  I too remeber the great time I had at the fest...especially meeting you, Roger and the rest.

Thanks Chris....

It was such a pleasure getting to know you and enjoying the festival as well as our meal together with the other guys.  Hopefully someday soon I can talk you in to visiting the Mountain Home and Springfield area....

Alan

Thanks Alex and Laidoffsick!!  The kit is very nice and was so nicely machined that it fit together like a glove.....can't wait to get the rest of the detail done.

Alan

Whoops...Brian, almost forgot to answer your question above.  First, I think you are familiar with my philosophy of doing something special in each corner of the layout.  Instead of filling in the corners with diagonal pieces added to match the height of the benchwork, I like to build bridges, etc. in those corners where I can take advantage of curved track spanning the corner.  This particular corner is located just to the right of where you and I sat and watched trains as we visited the evening you spent here as our guest.  This would be the southwest corner as one walks around the back side of the center part of the city.....thanks Brian...
