Isn't that like life? You fix it and everyone is already on the next page.

I'm curious to see how this turns out.

Dennis, For some reason I was able to download the .tif, but the girder posts were slanted to the left!!! My mailbox was'nt full, my cheesy Bellsouth gives me a 2 meg limit and your tif was 5 meg!!!. Let me try to see if I can scan a girder piece on my scanner this weekend. I think you both have put me in the direction I need to be in. Thanks, Bro's. Beers are on me tonight!!!! :D

Damn go getters. You're supposed to be a hobo, not a drill sargent. If you drank more you'd understand.

Cardstock girder update: I emailed this company that produces cardstock items inquiring if they had anything similar: www.clevermodels.com

Their reply was promising!!!!!

Jon,
We have a prototype of cardstock girders and beams that we developed for
kits we are planning. If i'm interpreting your photo corectly, your looking
for bridge sides and decks. If you can give me more specifics like
dimensions and such, I might be able to accomidate you. We do have steel
plates and concrete (good for retaining walls and piers)available now as
textures.

Dennis, A picture of your work is in O Scale Trains Magazine July/Aug '05 on page 52 in an ad by Model Building Services. It looks awsome even in black and white. :D

Beer!




“The best,” said Jay. “I feel renewed.” But he didn’t; there was still a nasty pressure in his chest.
“That those beer angels doin’ their strut—they make a new man outa you. For they are the beer angels, and they comfort and make new the weary.” Sammy chuckled. “Man, I love this place.”
Jay nodded.
“Juss seein’ you smile, pay me back. You need take some time off like this. Man can’t work all the time. We should do this every Saturday.”
“Next time is my treat.”
“Now you talking.”
Sammy signaled Felix by swinging his hand as if he had a lasso. After the round arrived, he said: “Where you wanna go eat? Or you want something right here? The cook be in anytime now, and she fry a mean steak. Or we take the Benz, go anywhere you say. My treat, wherever you wanna go.”

The trains are all in their boxes under the stairs waiting for January.

LOL, Daisy!! I would have loved to have seen that!!!! Please don't bum me out about your beautiful thunder storms. It's been about the tenth day of a heat index of 108 degrees. :cry: :cry:
But I'll imagine having a beer with you both on the front porch and I'll feel better. :D
