Greg;
The new and improved bridge looks terrific. I am glad that I was able to help you to make your model accurate, and thank you for posting the photos and then considering my advice in a constructive manner. Chalk one up for the co-operative and friendly attitude here at Big Blue.
It is a testament to your work that the bridge can balance like that.

I am more than happy to help by sharing some of my building knowledge, and even though I am not an engineer, I have seen enough structural steel, and other things, to know when something doesnt seem right. Not everyone knows or understands how things are built and a lot in this world dont care, but dont get me started on blinkered people.
Bridges are a focal point on a layout and as such need to be modelled with care to ensure that they stand up to close scrutiny.
I for one dont like to give nit pickers an opportunity to pick fault. Bastards
