Two bridges over Silver Creek are to be built. The first one is nearly finished, following Harry W. Brunk’s Up Clear Creek on the narrow gauge. In part 32 describes Harry Brunk the building of his Truss Rod Bridge. The second one will be a simple trestle.

More work with those H0n3 D&RGW idler flat car from Micro Engineering. This is a nice kit - but the instructions could be a lot better.
There's a grab iron bending jig - but no word how to use it, only "... insert the wire into the correct hole..." And you have to identify the parts. What's the "ratchet pawl"? And how it's mounted?

And those Kadee trucks to assemble...
