Back on the garden railroad, and the new project, building the truss bridge over the "River Why?" on the north end of the railroad. AND finish the entire north end!
First, we need to repair winter damage on the outdoor model railroad and design a proper truss bridge over the "river". There is no river, but sort of a river channel? Low area? Fun place to model? Yup. All that!
The "Never Mine" was totally blown away in the "downslope winds" last winter, as were several other structures. So we need to repair those. We used JB Weld epoxy as it fills gaps and is super strong. I also redo the mounting system for the structures so the high winds can never blow the village away again.
Future parts of the project include finishing the cement scenery, plants, drip watering, weather, ballast on the tracks, and the wood truss bridge.
