Re: new project - P5se Camelback - 10-12-2010 So ... before I offer a name ... ... the body of water this structure will span is the Susquehanna River? ... or the Delaware River?
Re: new project - doctorwayne - 10-12-2010 I like Greg's suggestion of Delahanna Draw, although I've changed the spelling slightly. It describes its use on your layout and sounds, to me at least, prototypical. Wayne Re: new project - P5se Camelback - 10-12-2010 Ooooooo! Doctor! "Delahanna" ... a contraction of the two rivers ... and the re-spelling makes all the difference!!!! ... ... it sounds right for the area, too! Very "Pennsyltucky"! I like it ... Delahanna Draw gets my vote! Re: new project - e-paw - 10-14-2010 so far I like that one, it sounds a lot like the name tomustang came up with... just easier to say. Re: new project - Green_Elite_Cab - 10-14-2010 Well, Now i have a third bridge for you. This one ACTUALLY looks like the one you're modeling (at least, more so than the Delair). The Upper Hack Bridge is a former DL&W bridge on the Boonton line still used by NJ transit. new project - e-paw - 10-19-2010 Work is going slow but moving along. I got most of the horizontal braces in ..And for the first time the west tower stands on it's own. Re: new project - mountaingoatgreg - 10-19-2010 That is coming along nicely!!! Pretty impressive that is can stand up by itself!! Won't be long know before trains are running through it moving America's Freight!!! Re: new project - e-paw - 10-19-2010 That would be black diamonds Mountaingoatgreg. Re: new project - P5se Camelback - 10-20-2010 Right on!
Black Diamonds to Market!
Hordes of Heavenly Hoppers!
Re: new project - AF350 - 10-20-2010 Wow, just looked at this thread from start to finish. Great modeling. Delahanna sounds like a great name for a bridge new project - e-paw - 10-24-2010 Started on the cross braces. After this I have 3 more sets of them to build. Here is a closeup of the rivet detail. when they are installed I hope that they add some needed stability to the towers. They are pretty strong but there is a lot play in the structure. Re: new project - toptrain - 10-24-2010 E-Paw what is this english locomotive doing here? Re: new project - e-paw - 10-25-2010 Don't know POP , the only reason that I can think of is It gives the crews of the heavy mikes and mountains assigned to Riegelsville something to laugh at. new project - e-paw - 10-26-2010 Installed the first set of X-braces. They do stiffed the tower up significantly. They still need the splice plates installed where they meet the horizontal cross members. While the glue setsup I went ahead and got the next set for the back in the works.. new project - e-paw - 11-06-2010 I have completed the Iron work for the East tower of "DH" draw. At this time I'll have to take a break from the bridge for a little while so I can get some work done on the " EOY Challenge ". I still intend to have the mainline complete for Christmas, I may have to hire Gary S' bridge crew, they seem to build bridges in record time. Here is the top deck of the East tower. And a few views of the completed iron work... |
