This looks promising 🤔🤔
I’m guessing that these are actually Scaled O scale wheels not your usual Lionel 3 rail wheel set.
These are definitely smaller than the Bachmann Speeder wheels that I used on the Truck!

Another side shot for Bob Frein ✌️😎✌️
The next phase adding all the details should fill in the empty space above the containers giving it a more scale look

Gotta love having different flavors in life!
Some like plain Vanilla and some gotta have everything including the Cherry on top 😋😋

Good Morning!!
Just a few pictures of the updated version Bridge 😍😍
She’s coming home with me to get some measurements for the details that are coming up next!
And Yes she is Double Stack Approved!
After this bridge is completed we will be starting on samples showing the different types of details that will be offered for this style bridge.
Stay Tuned!

AC4400 cabinet and all 50 rivets finally finished 😍😍😅😅😅

For being a raining day I sure have gotten a lot done today!!
The AC4400 is really moving along nicely for a change 😅😅
Yesterday I was able to get the lower frame painted along with the fuel tank and the truck side frames.
I’m currently drilling for the rivets on the AC Panels and taking more breaks than I should be 😬😬
Looking at building another High Rail truck that will be full RC this time around.

Good Morning and Happy Workbench Wednesday or is it bring Your Bridge to Work Day 🤔🤔😅😅😅
So here is the latest and greatest version from Pond 582 Metalworks!
These will be giving us the much needed clearance for the USA Trains double stacks and Autoracks.
As of now We will have 3 or 4 different models to choose from when it comes to the level of details that can be added.
The basic length will be 4’ to replace those plastic and wood bridges of yesterday!
Stay tuned for more details and updates!
