Structure - 60' Thru Plate Girder Bridge - 3D Printed Brdige Track

I Initially plan to do a ballast deck bridge, but I receive some comments on that over on TTnut Forum, so since no one makes bridge track tie section for TT Scale. I drew one up and had it printed

Ties are12' long. Rail is ME code 55. The rail press fit into the rail alignment clip nicely, so a little glue should do it.

There are 20', 40' and 60' section 12' wide available on my Shapeways site  KD Models

Switching Layout 14x48 Project - Track III

Today, I got started in transferring the plan to the layout base. Then started cutting and fitting track between the turnouts. I would of done this sooner but I forgot to order rail joiners and they came in yesterday.

The base is 3/8" foamcore board salvage from an earlier layout attempt with 2 layers of ceiling tile.

Plan is to finish cutting and fitting track tomorrow. I have ordered servo's for turnout control and hope to have them by end of week, so I can finalize a mount for them. Plan is to laser cut acrylic for the mounts.

  

Structure - 60' Thru Plate Girder Bridge - Ballast Deck

Yesterday, I drew up the plans for a 60' Thru Plate Girder Bridge. This was based on the plan I did for my N scale layout with changes I noted from that build. First four photos show the material removed from laser, also there is a sheet for a deck plate girder bridge too, that build another time.

Here are the photo of the Thru Plate Girder build

Switching Layout 14x60 Project - Plan 2

Here my latest plan

Base on suggestion from TTnut forum, I have extended the layout 12" and extended two tracks for off-layout staging if so desired. And added a bridge scene I wanted.

Switching Layout 14x48 Project - Couplers and Planning

Today, I assemble and installed MT 1025 coupler's on the eleven box cars

Also started looking at the plan again and layout the turnouts with cars to see how everything fits.
