I'm familiar with all the commercial versions, but if anybody knows of 3D printing or small mfgr kits of laser-cut I'd like to know where I can find them online.

One oddball thing is that there was a T-trak module kit out there for a double-track bridge - I think it was laser-cut board of some kind....

This is actually pretty cool...

N Scale Architect had "Ogden Creek Viaduct" - it is still showing in his printable catalog but not on the website.

Does anybody know if @Alaska Railroader is still doing these?

Last night I had insomnia so upon seeing a photo I took last summer I was inspired to give it a try. Finished rev1 just a bit ago.

@DKS might know more about Karin.  I know they collaborated on some things.
I bought and built one of those.  Nice kit.

As far as I know, no. I haven't been in touch in years, and last I heard she was thinking of quitting the laser business.

I think AlaskaRailroader is the person who had the really nice bridge I liked. I think it was a highway bridge, which is what I'm wanting to have. The deck  is different from a rr as it cantilevers out on both sides for the sidewalks. The guardrails are easy enough, the Rix ones. I remember it was Z scale.

Anybody have a picture of the Alaska Railroader bridge? Or a website where I could find it?
