Finally had a full weekend off from work so I made some time to work on the layout a little bit. This afternoon I finished putting down the first bit of concrete tie track up to the east control point on refinery siding.
I super-elevated the curves on this section (and will do the same on the last large corner) using Jamie's method described here.
And lastly, a few photos of the BLMA Brass bridge I got. This bridge is fantastic looking, and I'll be using Monroe Models' Concrete Girder bridge expansion kit. I'll toss the girder sections and using the concrete sections to build a modern squared off concrete abutment for the bridge, kind of like this.
