One is any design info I can get about the pin connected deck truss between tunnels 12 and 13. Also trying to resolve if the 'hdpg' bridge between 11 and 12 was the type with the twin I beams running the length of the bridge, or another type I've been pointed to where the ties mainly rest on what I would call 'shelves' attached to the side girders. Not having any luck there.. seems to be a dispute as to what a half deck plate girder bridge is vs through plate, etc.Brad C.

Thank you for your compliment. I enjoy sharing what I have learned and have acquired over the years and I know that I will never write a book. The blog format seems a great way to put information out there for others to learn and build from. What are you looking for? Perhaps I can help you out with some specifics.<br /><br />Q ManCoquihalla Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14282672444034663921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20322133212242827.post-54995410635062675192014-12-15T19:57:46.737-08:002014-12-15T19:57:46.737-08:00Coquihalla man,

When I started...Fantastic blog.. very informative. When I started my n scale model of the Coquihalla, there was so much I had a hard time with.. good photos, etc. Just didn't have the connections. I'm curious about your tunnel portals.. did you scratch build those or kit bash? I've been hand casting mine but not quite liking the results yet. Yours look perfect. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing all this!<br /><br />Brad<br /><br />http://kvrcoquihalla.tumblr.com Brad C.
