Group,

Gary and I pulled the old wood trestle out today and I helped him (he is 
the engineer) create the necessary bench work to install the bridge.   
The bridge is built, etc.

Please don't handle the bridge.   It was left up on the layout on the 
track going into Mesa.   The scenery is next.   I will be putting that 
in over the next week or so.   Until I get the new bridge installed, you 
can not use the helix going up or coming down from Summit.

That tight spot everyone complains about going into the tunnel that 
takes trains to the lower level under the city is gone.  There was way 
too much plaster there and a couple of whacks with a hammer and the top 
coat fell of and left a perfectly useable under layer.

You can still test run on the lower tracks like 11, 12, 14, etc.

Hope to get it back up running soon.

Dean
