Truss Bridge Top Truss
A s I had mentioned in previous blog entries, although adding the truss plates and bolt detail made a significant difference in bridge detail, this morning I worked on the top truss to add even more detail. More detail is always better! Oh yeah... and yesterday, I managed to mix more paint and repaint the entire bridge. Well... I still need to paint the wood I added for the top truss but I have the rest of the bridge painted in the new color. This color is difficult to see indoors but it is a medium to dark charcoal with a slight green tint. Under indoor light, this color appears rather bluish but it does appear green under sunlight. Below, you can see the new parts of the top truss system that I added today... In order to keep the new top truss square as the glue dries, I clamped it in place on top of the side trusses... There is no bottom to this bridge because that is already in place on the garden railroad. All I need to do is place this down on the support cross-pieces tha
