Setting up the N Scale Vehicle Association booth with Deluxe. I dropped a tray of custom built vehicles on the concrete.

Carnage!
American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothing behind

I spent the past two nights building, painting, ballasting, and weathering the bridge representing the 4th crossing of Tehachapi Creek on my layout.

Wow Chris that bridge looks great . That's a ballasted deck ? Don't see length of that type among modelers much .

@Missaberoad congrats on getting Tom's book! That and the work of others here inspired me, too.

I think I'm finally finished with this.
Check out this thread for more everything in painful detail.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Thanks guys! Yes, up1950s, it's a ballasted deck girder - just like its real world counterpart.

I was able to drag my :ashat: to the basement long enough to add a sign to the Vulcan Mfg building:

Chris:  I agree - very nice bridge.  Don't usually see piers that fancy on model bridges either.

A very nice and well deserved tribute....
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!
