Halle (freakin) lujah!

This is great news! Thanks for making them for us!

Will anyone design CNW nose bells with brackets now? (Wink wink, nudge nudge) 

[GaryHinshaw]

You mean like this??  @Wutter is your man.  If you ask nicely, he might be able to add the bracket to it.

P.S. Love the bridge shoes John.

Thanks for the support and comments guys!

Yes, @Wutter is THE GUY for diesel details.  But don't hesitate to ask me for anything if you can provide all or most of the research I need to model what you want.

The bridge shoes are needed. I remember back when I was looking. I ended up casting the ones from the Kato truss bridge. Bridge without shoes is like corn flakes without the milk.

@robert3985 do you want the 20 pack or something smaller?

Initially the 20 pack was created for @Ed Kapuscinski .  If anyone would like a smaller pack made available just let me know!  I can turn around a smaller set in an evening.

You'd be surprised how quickly you go through them if you're building a large bridge. For example, I just realized I probably need almost twice as many as I initially ordered.

Remember, generally, each girder in a bridge has one whenever it rests on a structure, and girder bridges frequently have multiple reinforcing girders "inside": https://goo.gl/maps/z54BVGaVFhy

Then, you need one for each end of each girder. Piers where two girders meet typically have two on them, not one as I had initially modeled.
