Signal bridge part 2

This morning I went on with the bridge. This is my work space:

The first crossbrace:

All 3 in place, testfitting the legs:

First leg glued on:

And with both:

The floorboard that is with the bridge. It has to be shortened according to the photo:

Shortened:

And testfitted with the top together on the bridge:

This is what is provided for the electric wire that is necessary to power the lights on the bridge:

I will not use that and try to find the thinnest wire possible.

More to come!

Building the Summit signal bridge

I started the signal bridge today. Modified it to look more like the one on Cascade Summit:

Started with a IHC kit:

The IHC one has to little girders in it. Also the prototype has a cross in the middle, due to the construction of the IHC kit I made two crosses in the middle.

 The photos with the sprue's:

Made some extra girders to look like the prototype:

First side finished:

And with the second one:

More to come!

Decoders

Have some older DCC decoders, printed there descriptions so that I can experiment with them for the coming days:
