On the left is an Oh S*** crane so called because it always ended up being hit when the modules were either transported or setup and the explative was Oh S***. The short wood is on it's way to the chair factory. The covered bridge was made following an article in MR many moons ago.

I was digging through a few boxes of stuff and found this Brick Price etched brass diesel body I built eons ago. This looks like the same one that kicked off this thread.

It's made from folded brass and soldered together. It fits on an N Fairbanks-Morse diesel chassis.

Very neat build, I can see how the better soldering equipment makes a difference in the results. I just checked back to the thread and found you had added this pic. I wish I could move it to the Fray Diesel Build. Oh well thanks for adding it.

deemery recent post about building a covered bridge for his HOn30 narrow gauge line inspired me to photograph the coverd bridge I built for the FCL&WR RR narrow gauge line. When living in Rhode Island I belonged to an HOn30 module group that meet on a semi regular basis to connect our modules, run trains and talk just about every thing. Because the modules traveled a distance and some times went up and down stairs the bridge was made removable. It was made about 98 or 99 so my skills have improved some since then, I think, but I still like this little covered bridge. As dave said, it is New England even if the Maine two foot roads never had a covered bridge like this one.

Top removed to show decking. I used some pc ties to help maintain gauge with all the traveling the module would see.

Supports added to provide some interest when looking through bridge. I'm glad it is removeable. Many times it is removed to get at a troublesome freight car. Now that the modules are installed in their new home it's time to add guard rails

Thanks Collen, I've finally got trains running from two feet into Wood River Junction to the end of Jordan Pond - about 14 feet, not much but fun
Thanks for checking this thread out
