Great job. Thanks for the vid.

[@georgiasunbelt]

Bridge scene looks really nice…those small details makes the big stuff stand out

[@danedawes7122]

I think it's great that has a snug tight so that way it can be strong and last for a long time.

Great vidio, nice detail on the bridge area.Thanks for the morning coffee...

[@tommynorwood5184]

Very good work, you make it so easy. Thanks for sharing. Have a good day.

[@nscaler454]

Thanks. I tend to go slow and add layers as I go. A simple method that seems to work.

Right at 13:37 ? If you put black electrical tape on the bottom of the ties connected to the bridge. You can ballast the track. When you remove the bridge the ballast will come with the bridge. When you replace the bridge the ballast returns with it. The sides of the cork I ballast as normal. But all in all it's a good hide. Looks good, and you can still slide the rail joiners back in place. Just a thought. It works for me.

[@nscaler454]

that's a great idea. Would the black tape slightly elevate the track though?

[@altorry1083]

Looks really good. Awesome job.

[@NoFear2473651]

Looking good! Love that bridge!

[@nscaler454]

Thanks!

[@cinluvsart]

You did a great job on the bridge

[@michaelsullivan3581]

I'm 'lichen' yer scenery very much! You've developed a great eye for creating scale with your scenery! It all works so well together that it makes one wonder what scale you are modeling in! And I know it's N scale. I've been watching since you started building this layout! Everything is lookin' great!

[@nscaler454]

Thanks. Amazing compliment.

[@joesestito4342]

It looks really really great, nice work !

[@ProScaleModels]

Great video bro and I love your layout. Peace

[@robertschmidt6383]

That bridge looks great! Need more tall grass. Keep going. 👍

[@michaelbrandt2619]

BTW, it is pronounced "liken" so you had it right. Since lichen is not used much anymore, one trick to make it work and be realistic if you see a need is to roll in ground cover of your choice before you install it. Works very well in N-Scale where every scale item really makes a difference. Liking the updates!

[@nscaler454]

Thanks!

[@dale9632]

Simply fantastic.

[@3006USMC]

Looks great !!

[@baronjutter]

Just take the plunge and make the bridge permanent, you've done the main scenery below already, you're all set.

[@Chonkulease]

Why not solder a feeder wire to the underside of the rail joiner? As long as the hole through the base board isn't too tight and there's enough slack on the cable it should still be free to slide on and off. Probably isn't necessary but could be worth doing if the bridge is coming off frequently

[@nscaler454]

might be an option if I find the bridge is lowing power. So far so good though.

[@crazykong1967]

Your layout is beyond exceptional! Have you considered adding lights to your bridge(s)?

[@nscaler454]

I thought about it very briefly. The work to do it wasn't worth it since it isnt that important to me

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

The bridge and scenery around the bridge looks great! I would solder the rail joiners on the end of the bridge that is closest to a feeder wire. Leave the other end unsoldered for seasonal expansion (hopefully the rails have some room to expand?)

[@Vman7757]

Not really. You can't tell on my layout. I have glued paper once. It works too. But you got to paint the paper gray or something.
