Switching Layout 14x48 Project - Bridge and Creek

Last couple of days, I have worked on the bridge install and the creek it is crossing.

I am re-using a bridge abutment design from my N scale layout re-size for TT Scale and adjusted for the layout.

Test fit of abutments and bridge

Then added a primer sealer to the abutments. Once these are dry I will apply a soupy mixture of joint compound and paint.

This is what my N Scale one looks like

I also got four TT Scale bridge shoes coming from Shapeways (photos of my N Scale ones)

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

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
