It seems to be a decent price, with bridge track included.  There is something that does not look right about the angles on the right side of that drawing.  I could see bashing a few of these, if the detail is good.

It's a great announcement, considering the noticeable difference in design between the Atlas and CV models. Hazzah! And Envirodude, let's not forget TrainCat as excellent company in that group of manufacturers.

it is isometric - i.e., 3D without depth.

Is Craig's double track?  With the Atlas bridge being a similar "whale back" I wonder if that's going to hurt his efforts...  I know the level of detail is going to be like night and day, but if the Atlas bridge lands for a street price of around $15, I'd be willing to model night...

No, I think Pomperaugrr is right--there is something wrong there. If it were isometric, all the crossbeams along the top chord would be parallel, and they're not. It's almost like it's in reverse perspective--the "back" truss looks bigger than the "front."

And now, having checked the drawing out, I have to retract my statement. The top elements are parallel, and the front and back sides match up properly--it's just an optical illusion that makes it look "funny."

No screw-ups, except for the ones inside my eyeballs...  :)

Well since I already did the drawing....



Yes, like Tom said, just an isometric or parallel view.
