Alexander,
Somehow I seem to have missed this thread !
:oops:
That is an excellent Bascule lift bridge !
Model Railroader once ran an article, with scale drawings of that bridge. Walthers must have used the same information for their HO kit. The N scale kit is the same.
In the part of the world where I grew up, a "Boat Yard", is a place where boats are brought ashore for maintenance, or Winter storage, and usually have a "marine railway" ( about a six foot gauge, with a single steel ' truck ' that the boats, in custom fit cradles, are hauled out, and re-launched on ).
When I built my "new modules", I had a tough time choosing between a 'Seaport Village and Museum', or a 'boat yard', like the one, at the end of the street the house was on .
The museum won.
Pete

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
