One summer my son Mason and I took a ride on the Alaska Railroad. Mason saw a picture of the Hurricane Gulch Bridge on the station wall and liked it very much. We couldn't see the brdige very well when the train finally rolled over it. When we came home we found pictures of the bridge construction during the early 1920's online in an Anchorage museum digital archives. The next summer we took a hike to a distant vantage point of the bridge then rode the Alaska RR flag stop Hurricane Budd car train. Mason desided that we needed to model the bridge on our N gauge model RR layout. We were able to build a scale model of the bridge from the digital archive photographs. Enjoy!

  • @garytrooper1 Nice, you get a lot of railroading into that size an area with N scale. Been thinking about a 10x10(dedicated) N scale once I finish my HO layout (22x12/dual purpose room) Doing a great job so far, look forward to seeing your progress. Thanks for sharing ;)

  • Thats me in there!!

  • I'm beginning a ARR n-gauge layout of my own, won't be as good as this, though!
