    How long did they take to build?

    My sweetie wants one. She thought you could "just buy one and drop it in".
    So, please do give an idea of how long including planning it took.
    Thanks!

    Grey - I really don't know how long each of them took -- I'm the kind of modeller that just does a little bit at a time, whenever I have some free time. I built fixtures for each trestle (since the bent patterns are different on each one) and built bents as I had time. The latest one probably sat unpainted for 2 months before I got the airbrush out ! :( !

    Dave,

    That layout is incredible! Glad to see you're still making progress. Hopefully it will be enjoyable for many years. The bridges look great!
