Good morning ....
Chet .... The RS1 looks like a winner.
Ken in MD.... That sounds ambitious. Be careful .... That sounds very ambitious for a motorcycle road trip. .... I suggest you make sure crossing the Mackinaw bridge is safe for a motorcycle before planning on it. ... I've been on that bridge and it is very high above the water. I remember a scary trip in a winter snow storm over the bridge driving a Blazer. I was dumb to do that. Nobody else was on the bridge at the time. It was a about 3 or 4 days later when a Bronco fell off the bridge killing the driver as it crashed onto ice beneath the bridge.
Eric ... The refinery sounds like a fun kit to build.
-----------------
Below is work in progress for my bridge project. .... I just started running trains over the bridges. So far an SD7 and a GP7 are the only locos that crossed over the bridges. .... From left to right are a 17" truss bridge, a 210 scale feet steel trestle (viaduct) with a curve, a 9" truss bridge, about 18" of track over wood with curve (Scenery will be added), and a 20" truss bridge. ..... Total distance is about 8'..... I built all of the background scenes before building the bridges because I would not be able to reach over bridges very easily.
Much more work remains.
