Gary, please, I beg you - whatever you do, DO NOT FORGET THE SHOES!!!! Put that bridge on some pedestal feet! If you model the terrain down to the last blade of grass and get every nugget of balast in the right spot but do not get the pedestals on the bridge you deserve some sort of malicious punishment. :evil:
The reason I get so heated about this is because it's such an overlooked detail on so many layouts but so simple to include and so vital to railroad right-of-way realism, like ditches or culverts. And on your particular prototype, seem to be the source of some serious rust!
hock:
So don't leave off the shoes. Don't they come with the CV kit? It's been a while since I built one.
Oh, the rest looks fantastic, btw.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
