My bridges

I wanted to show you a few bridges which I made myself. 1 - from reinforcement bar and welding electrods http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/ ... e94f20.jpg 2 - small pedestrian bridges from sushi sticks (as well as a market place) http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/ ... c0dacf.jpg 3 - a car bridge from sushi sticks, too http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/ ... 93b1a0.jpg I have to add that everyting is made by me, a Russian housewife, so, don't be strict judges.

I like that electrode bridge, if only I could curve aluminium.

I like your use of colourful rock plants OMA.

If my limited understanding of the Russian alphabet is correct, you have a'Yodelfest' going on there!

And sushi sticks, coffee stirrers.. modellers everywhere use them.

Jim, you might confuse a Russian as you type with a Suffolk accent.

That looks excellent.
Well done, and thank you for sharing with us.

Planning my GRR I had the only aim - to make my garden more attractive for grandkids, it was one step in my fight with internet, computer games and TV. That's why I wanted to have bright colours. But the more I read about garden railroading, the more I saw GRR, the more became a fan of it and my vision has changed completely. In September I removed some red floxes and have a plan to add more ground covers like draba instead of them.
And bravo! Russian alphabet is not so easy, but you read and understood it correctly. A few years ago Jodlefest took place in Interlaken. In spite of a very bad weather (it rained cats and dogs) 3 mln people came to this small town. There was a lot of music, wurst of different kinds, of course, rugenbraeu, all streets and squares were overcrowded. It was crazy, but exciting. Funny and yummy. I like the atmosphere of this holiday.
bazzer42, I can neither curve, nor weld, but my nephew can. It was his contribution to my GRR.
And, of course, I have to say that all GRR that I saw here are very impressive. All of you have been inspiring me, I'm in your debt.

Some really great ideas for bridges there OMA. I am planning to replace a couple of LGB bridges on my railway so you have given me some food for thought (I hope that translates into Russian).

I have one more curved metal bridge but couldn't find its photo. Now it's rather cold and we still have no snow, that's why I covered the whole GRR with a layer of non-woven fabric just to protect plants there. Later I'll try to take a photo. I like to use sushi sticks, I've made some other structures from them. In winter I'd like tj make one more building, a cliffhanger, but try to use popsicles.
