That bridge is two Atlas HO Scale Warren Through Truss bridge kits spliced together. Then turned upside down to make a large deck truss bridge for use in 1/35th Military Scale.
Could not stand that the Dragon model flatcar was sort of a “gutless wonder” with no underpinnings at all so had to correct that. (Sorry but I based my sub-structure design on US prototypes that I was already familiar with so beaucoup errors made here.)
Trying just to pump a little additional life into this thread by posting some old work here. Cheers.
(Photos would not load. I’m guessing Santa is doing some Merry Christmas Day Server Maintenance ~ Will try again later.)

So, I had a problem earlier this year where one of my pics wouldn’t load. I resaved it and it still wouldn’t load. I resaved it to a different size and it loaded fine. FWIW.
In case some corruption’s got into those images maybe try Snipping Tool (i.e. copying) one of them & try loading that. Occasionally I get that & ST has solved it.
What file size were the images? I haven’t checked, but there must be an upper limit the forum software will accept. I tend to resize my photos to something like 1600x1200 pixels, which drops the size to about 500kb, before uploading. I use GIMP, or Paint if I’m feeling lazy!

This perhaps will be considered a bit of a brass sacrilege but I just never really cared for the proportions on the classic “B3 Shay” from PFM - but I did hunger for a heavier, longer two truck Shay.
So I swallowed hard and started cutting: - First cutting the auxiliary tender frame (right behind that small toolbox) and then shortening the main engine frame and moved the auxiliary water tank forward to become the primary water tank for the locomotive. I then sectioned the smaller oil tank (made it less tall) and turned it 90 degrees, to now form the oil tank right behind the cab.The greatest “white knuckle” moment was trying to build that longer insulated boxed drive shaft that runs between the triple vertical steam engine and the rear truck.
