Gary ... Right, you are! Two rolls of steel and a ton of rollers coming from what seemed like all angles!
And BTW ... Expensive does not necessarily make it good. Everone finds their favorite, the medium that they have come to grips with, that they can manipulate to get the effect they want. It could be expensive or it could be cheap. I used Pilot Razor Point® black nylon-tip pens so much I bought them half-a-dozen boxes of twelve at a time! The same for the Flair® felt-tip pen. For markers I ended up using the AD Markers®, and I bought them a half-dozen at a time ... but I had used the Pantone® Markers for over a decade when someone showed me the AD Markers®. It's all what you get used to. I do like the results you get from using the pencils though, and I salute you for thinking of using them!
It never would have crossed my mind. I'll have to think about what other art materials I used to use (and still have a ton of) that I could "repurpose" for model railroading! :arrow:

Your bridge is going to be a real "Cover Girl" when she grows up! :oops:
