Yeah... these corn syrup tank car are maglev, hence no wheels. Mike, honestly, when operating at normal leve, you almost don't see any action on the other side of the layout. Also, you don't see the tight radius. Now the bridge is ready for installation. I weathered it a little bit with oil paint washes. When I was younger, I painted the bridge with olive green. Later on, I sprayed it brown. I used isopropyl alcohol on it and while scrubbing the surface, the green came to light again, giving an illusion of flaking paint.
