Howdy folks,

Rick, Jerry, Philip, Curt, Larry, and Gregory, thank you for your kind and supportive comments.  I don't like bunching you guys in one sentence, but it saves modeling time.  ;) ;) ;)

Nearing completion, but still have a ways to go.  Yesterday I completed the floor beams, and today I installed the lintels and top cross braces.  Next will be the bottom cross braces and the horizontal rods to connect the two chords.

End view of the floor beams and top cross braces.  The camera angle is crooked, but you get the idea.

Have fun,

My current builds are on the Buffalo Canyon Mining Company's wooden Howe Truss Bridge, and miscellaneous rolling stock .

I agree, that is very impressive work.

Good evening, folks,

Rick, Jerry, Philip, Tom, Curt, Tom, TomACL, and Dave, thank you again for your support. 

This afternoon I was able to install all the horizontal chord connecting rods and their NBWs.  Also installed the vertical rod caps.  I need to go over the bridge with an AI wash.  My India ink dried up so I ordered more.

Here is a photo of today's work.
