Yes, it’s 100% off topic, but I wanted to share with my readers that a model bridge I built for a friend’s garden railroad happens to be featured on the cover of the current issue of Garden Railways magazine, described in the caption as “Tim’s Bridge”.
This bridge, a simple “King post” truss, was built from cedar as a proof-of-concept for techniques I intended to employ in a larger structure for my own little railroad. No glue holds it together; it’s strictly brass and carbon steel mechanical fasteners, which have rusted and discolored nicely over the years. It has remained outdoors constantly for…three years? Maybe longer.
Unfortunately, I never got around to completing the larger bridge!
