Good looking layout you have going on there, more bridges the merrier.

[Janbouli]

Thank you Lynn, I have several bridges on my layout and there will be more.

[Janbouli]

On with the Belleville scenes.

Soil added.


First water poured.


More water poured and abutments made, the steel bridge is from Hack Brucken


Small wood bridge handmade , bought at Gangelter Modellbau Tagen.


More height for the wood bridge.

River looks good. You may have some trouble staining the wood on the bridge with the glue on the ends.

Everything looks great. Just a comment on glue and staining.  I have eliminated the issue of glue changing the way wood takes stain by assembling the project and then taking it in the paint booth and priming it with Khaki Camo paint. Then, I use chalks and paint pigments to do the staining. I should note that I still use the stain or color the wood first for board on board structure building. It all depends on the final look you want.

Luckily I saw that just in time to take the glue off with a swab. Thanks Lynn

Thanks John, I normally am very careful with glue and I always have cotton swabs at hand. Oh and remember this whole bridge is less then 3 inches long.

I have already stained the bridge and I don't think there are any shiny spots , photo's later.

John has a very good point with priming first, I actually have started priming when I'm building laser cut pieces, hides the burnt wood look from the laser cuts.

So after 4 months , I have done some work on my layout , here are some photo's of the trackwork near Belleville.
