Thanks Harry !

Work continues. The bridge is in two pieces as I had to remove a couple of inches from the middle to make it fit. Still a lot more contouring of the landscape to do. We still have a major pothole for the driver of that pick-up to contend with.

Hey !, Vern !, Look Out For That Pottttt Hooooolllle ( insert "splatted smilie" here )

Hi Mike,

I like the new bridge there. Maybe I should place such a bridge on my window segment on my home layout.
I look forward to the scenery that you'll place around the bridge.

Bye, Gerd

[Tyson Rayles]

Thanks Gerd!

[Tyson Rayles]

Pete I think just this side of that pothole would be a good place for a front end alignment shop!
Well I got the bridge spliced back together and am trying out some bridge abutments. Also a test run thru for a clearance check as well.

That's a good lookin' bridge !!!

Like Gerd, I too am looking forward to seeing the scenery.

[Tyson Rayles]

Thanks Pete, I still have to finish terra-forming the creek, road and area around the abutments before starting on the scenery.

Mike, I am waiting for four very short German fishermen to emigrate from West Germany before I start my creek.One is wearing waders ,one has a fisherman's vest on and the other two will fish from the banks. The main reasoning I'm waiting is because the guy wearing the waders will definately be "in" the creek.Thinking about putting the two bank setters on the river banks.

[Tyson Rayles]

Good to hear Catt! I'm afraid at the altitude of Catt and Tellico creeks that neither would be big enough to support fish.

We have two creeks here (Buck and Plaster) that are closer to small rivers than creeks.Both of them have fish in them and both are miles long unlike our model creeks.

OK, The Kennequogue River exists in a 24", and a 30" length, in model form, but runs from the hills to the Sea - - in my imagination. The 24" area is all fresh water, the 30" area is brackish, being influenced by the Ocean tides.
Great South Bay ( Long Island ), and Strong's Creek ( Copiague ) also had salt content from the Atlantic tidal flows. I used to catch Snappers ( young Bluefish ) in the creek, they were good eatin'

[Tyson Rayles]

Yeah, tidal flats with the brackish water was always good fishing down in Florida.
