HI folks! This is my first post on the Guage and I'm pretty new at this (about a year). You've got a lot of good stuff here.
Well, the Highline trestle is finally open for operation. Construction has made a major turning loop unavailable for some weeks now, but at last the bridge is open for traffic.

The landscaping crew still has a lot of work to do covering that blue foam and installing rocks, water, etc. (Model RR is sort of reverse of the prototype...you start with a nice flat plane which trains could really fly over and you build grades and stuff to slow them down and make operating more (??) interesting.)
Anyway thanks to Construction Consultant Railery and others for their help.
There's still a lot painting and detailing to be done but the trains are rolling.
Thanks for looking,
