Slow progress, but there is some to report. :hey:
Yesterday I finished my turntable bridge by adding timber crossmembers (just cosmetic) and weathering the whole thing with pastel chalk:
The bridge is made from an Atlas plate girder bridge that was narrowed and flipped upside down. A piece of sectional track was glued on top and stripwood used to make the deck.
Now on to the turntable pit, which I plan to route out of some hardwood. I will be using the Atlas manual turntable underneath as the mechanism. It's a rainy day today (after a few days of snow) so perfect weather for staying indoors and getting some work done on this.
