QuoteImpressive trestle Mark, look forward to seeing it with scenery.....
Thanks, Gregory.
The possums all went out to have a look at my progress in the train room yesterday afternoon. Nice to get some feedback and to be reminded that I am making progress. We talked through scenery around the snowy river battery where I am second guessing myself and have a couple of totally different ideas floating around in my head. I think my plan is to 'throw up' some fascia and cut in the land profile to see what I think. This will show how I can frame different views, hide some elements from one side of the peninsula and have others as major views with borrowed scenery behind. Also rediscovered my MRR with Malcolm Furlow's article on the Silverton and Telluride layout he worked on - one of my all time favourite layouts. One of the things I noticed was his extremely vertical trestle bents. I think I will mock a couple of these up and try them in place of the Howe through truss bridge. I'll lose the 'see through' element of the Howe truss, but may gain more with the drama of those tall, fragile bents.
Cheers, Mark.
