I continued work on the bridge today and even got the terrain started. Dave I think these pictures will help explain the bridge placement. It is module 2. I tend to be working on details for the next modules before I finish the last module. Sorry if I am skipping around. At this point in time the bridge is not set in place. In needs to be removed easily to finish the land forms and water. A reminder of the scene I am going for.

The bridge and gun positions are excellent. I've been watching The Great War on youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar which is going through the history of the first world war, week by week following it as it develops. It is really interesting, sad, and full of great pictures and video from the war. Maybe it can give you some good ideas?

I've been following from a distance so as not to attract artillery fire, but I do have a question.... What sort of "weather" are you contemplating for this railway? If bleak, which would compliment and complement the model work and set a mood, I've had good luck with the use of rattle cans on the backdrop. Primer grey and white can provide distant hills, close-in hills, and a definite mood of cold, wet, tired, dirty, hungry and wanting to be home instead of in the trenches. And the whole process takes longer tp set up and clean up than it does to implement. It's a thought....

For those who have not seen the broadcasts they are informative once you get past Indy the front man's quirkiness. Pete, Please don't let those big guns scare you off. Most likely the time line will bye July / August 1918. The war was turning at this point and the Allies were stocking up for a big push that was basically the last 100 days of the war. I will do a nasty mud scene but typically the areas behind the lines were a little dryer. The mud we see is a result of the low elevation to sea level and the destruction of the drainage system by shell fire.

I'm even learning some new stuff about the war. Roland Country: USA | Posts: 1834 Terrell Fireman Posted - 07/24/2018 :  8:45:00 PM     Looking good, Larry. Country: USA | Posts: 1929 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/26/2018 :  7:33:30 PM     Thanks Terrell, come visit. Roland- next lesson. I found some of a light rail line and operations running to the front. There were many of them. This one is unfortunately not the one with the bridge I am modeling but it will help understand the operations some. I believe the loop at the far rear might have been for clearing the wounded.

Can't wait to see the final product.

I believe you are correct. The acronym "CCS" means "casualty collection station" at least in current military parlance and it would make tactical sense to locate it as far to the rear as possible.

It was a busy weekend. Elwood stopped over to help. We cast parts, put down scenery on the bridge module. The module is drying s no pictures. I did finish up some more removable loads for the open drop side cars.
