This model was Created by me in Sketchup. This is one of many structures found in Northern Michigan from the 1840's to the to the present day. This model May change...and/or be updated over time as my skills in using google sketchup improves so you should clone it if you don't want it to change. I will try to keep the size and footprint of the structure the same.
You may do anything you want with this model, no restrictions. And in an attempt to get organized...
Author Notes; YR=Your Route, TS=Trackside, IOI=Iron Ore Industry. Everything is subject to change as I progress.
This abutment is as stated this way from front to back. I like abutments but they don't work on grades, the back is either too high, or too low and it looks stupid and it flickers. So I made these, LEVEL to back, UP to back, DOWN to back. You don't have to be Einstein to figures these out. The only update I have planned for these is to make them a little deeper...longer, and broaden the face so they can be used like maddy25's with 2 track, make them for concrete, and maddys' old stone. They work fine on 0.00 to 2.5% grades. How much attention I pay to this will reflect on the number of assets downloaded if the number isn't high enough..I'll make them for myself only, as it's a Virgo thing.
