Wow. Good eye! That's one of my most influential structures ever...I've designed multiple small layout plans completely around that bridge and it's approaches, supporting buildings, pipes, etc. I never built them, but I have STUDIED those pictures...


One of the great sides of George's retirement is that there will probably be constant revisions all over the layout for the rest of his life. Fantastic to look forward to.
