| the location for the bridge was chosen |
Jim Long brought in a wooden, scratch built, double track, through truss bridge for the club to use. This gave us the opportunity to break up a long run of elevated track. I copied the design of the deck of the bridge to frabicate two sections of deck girder bridges to match the through truss bridge making the entire assembly about 5 feet. long. The wood strips used to build the new decks were about 1/8 x 3/4 inches, matching the original. The bridge support legs were made of 1/2 inch square wood held together with a cross beam of 1/8 x 1 inch wood strips. After assembling all of the wood parts, plate deck bridge sides were glued to the side that would be visible. It was then all painted silver.

| a picture was taken of the mock up and loaded into "paint" and then I added the location of the main elements of the of the back ground painting. |
 |
| a piece of paneling was added to the back drop (the joint hidden by the bridge) and most of the scene has been painted |
 |
| the painting is finished and the river extended into the scene, ending at the harbor |
