Ed, I’ve got to agree with Dave.  I think the track is way too elevated above the cast concrete bridge.

There's only some cork and maybe .020 styrene.

And there's going to be access road.

Go to Google maps and check the proto.  Rails are above the culvert, which looks to be a steel I beam  :trollface:

I’m just basing “my opinion” on the proto photo posted earlier in the thread.
To me, it looks like a concrete pan with ballasted track.

That turboencabulator is not properly lashed to that well car. I don't know if you are aware of this, but insufficiently secured turboencabulators are known to assume barescent skor motion resulting in side fumbling of the hydrocoptic marzlevanes.

Redoing the Windsor St Crossing area.

https://conrail1285.com/making-some-changes-to-the-windsor-st-crossing/

I love Photoshop for allowing me to roughly prototype stuff.

In this photo I'm using the actual backdrop I've put together for it. I'm pretty happy with both the choices of images and how it works in the scene.



The thing I'm really excited about is that a bunch of the new backdrop imagery comes from the actual area.

The area to the left in the above photo was shot from the RG Group parking lot in the upper right of the map here, and the ones on the right are of the Fabricated Products building shot from the access road along side Graham Packaging. They’re not the EXACT scenes for the space, but you know what, they’re damn close.

Me too! My FDM printed ones aren't nearly as your resin ones... Although I also really like the real-deal MTL ones I found too!

I wanted to share this since I had already exported it.

This is the collage that will become the backdrop exported for the web.
