  • @tedbownas2748

    That's a beautiful structure. My uncle models trolleys, and as a kid I loved visiting his layout. He had a beautiful scratchbuilt lift bridge almost five feet long spanning the walkway through the benchwork, and I was in my teens before I found out that my dad had built it for him when HE was about 17. I work on real trains, and I've never really had any interest in building models of them, but I appreciate nice work and attention to detail. You epitomize both. Looking forward to the continued build. 👍
