> Adrian - she's now wanting her own pink power tools, how bad will I look with these!!!

Seems like a fair price if she's going to be building more of those bridges

> p.s I've just seen in the photo that she's even drinking my Fosters

Hi Guys

also do you think its too high? it still needs detailing yet.

Richie,
Thats the best wife made bridge I've ever seen. You're lucky your wife not only supports your hobby but actually participates!

With a little paint and weathering it will look awesome. Its about the right height for a railroad bridge. Trains needed vertical clearance.

Cool stuff.

Hi Bob

Thanks for the nice words, she only had 5mins me showing her how it works, and she never snapped a blade

i may just scrap this one , as i not really happy with the height

the bottom looks ok with the dolly

, unless we build some dummy tracks and use it has a rail bridge

.

How about cutting through it along the centre of the cross braces - half the height and two bridges for the price of one

Hi Adrian,

Great idea

. Then we could have 2 spans and no waste

. You can't bin it after all yours and Lisa's hard work.

Thanks Antony

Richie,
Instead of a Bridge too far, its a Bridge too tall!

Have your wife saw 3-4 inches off the bottom! She's a jigsaw ninja. That would drop the height some.

I wouldn't scrap it yet. I'd throw a little paint on it - see how it looks after its chopped and lowered.

I think its a keeper. -Bob

HiGuys

Just had me ear bashed, she has seen the word 'scrap it'. The bridge is now sorted

, being lowered and detailed (by me). i'm in the dog house again!!!

Thanks for all your nice words, she loved the 'jigsaw ninja'.

Richie & Lisa
