Mainline Unloader Bridge

[railBuilderdhd]

I found an article in MRC about a bridge that has a chute for unloading to trucks below and thought it would be cool to model. So I started with a cheap bridge I got on eBay and I've posted my progress on my site. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Looks great,

One thing I am thinking about is when the coal drops into the hole there will be some that spills into the bridge. This would give the opportunity for a sheet metal lip to make it easier to shove into the hole.

Yes, I'm still thinking about ways to incorporate the chute with the bridge. I have many ideas and I'm not sure what all the detail will be at this point.
