" Somethng else that Russ and biL and you technical engineering type guys may find interesting - the pipe used on these supports are a spiral welded pipe. "
I regularly drive under a fairly old railroad bridge on Courtland St. in Mundelein,Il. , that is held up by spiral welded pipe bents.......saw the marks in your photos.....and never made the connection !
hock:
I guess I'd better take "inventory" to see what else age has taken from me !! :o
Colored pencils: I've used them to add facial features to HO LPBs......I'll have to rethink their use, and maybe expand it to more things.
Sometimes, all it takes is for someone to show how a "medium" can be used, to inspire others to try it. I believe, Gary, that you've done this, and done it well ! Thank You.
( By the way, nice use of the Squadron Putty, and Testors cement. I'll have to remember that one!!! )

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!
