On Saturday I decided to tackle the bridge that will carry both the oval
main line and figure-eight line of track in the rear section of the layout.
For this, I purchased a set of pier girders as well as a warren truss bridge
kit. With a little modification, I attached two bridge girders together
using a third girder.
When these were dry, I attached bridge sides of the warren truss kit to the
girder deck. I used a few scrap pieces of styrene to add additional support
to the trusses. The final look and design looks pretty decent. I placed the
bridge onto my layout and used foam shims on each end so it was level with
the track. I then finished with butting foam roadbed right up to the bridge
deck.
The bridge will still need to be painted to for some added realism, but
this will happen at a later time. I also had to add a foam extension to the
main line curve as shown in the photo below (under the 15 pound weight).
This extension was the result of a measuring mistake I made early in my
original planning. Thankfully this was an easy fix. Trackbed was also added
at this time to both tracks at the rear of the layout.
