Thanks. AmeriCana is good. Do you think we could impose upon DanMack to change NARS and NAIS to AmeriCanaRails and AmeriCanaIndustrial and Aegir for NABS to AmeriCanaRealty?
I'm a'hidin where the trouts can't find me.
ok ... I'm a'crawlin outta the hidey-hole.
As a died-in-the-wool, card carrying North American of the Canadian persuasion who can't draw worth a lick and can't code the broad side of a TV remote but can dig his way through a 2 foot high, 3 meter wide snowdrift in under 10 minutes without the aid of a snowblower, I believe that I am perfectly qualified to make suggestions and comments on this topic.
1. The roads are great, dirt, snow, brick, asphalt and all.
2. The rail crossings are great, dirt, snow, brick, asphalt and all.
3. Yes, the railroads in winter could use a little snow between the rails. Don't forget about the narrow gauge and other track types while you're at it.
4. Covered bridges were a fact of life for both road and rail in the early twenties and thirties. They should be available alongside, but not replace, the basic wooden bridge. Do an image Google for "Covered bridge" for ideas.
5. Culverts (Really, they are very short bridges) to span \/ depressions (as opposed to \_/, \__/, or wider depressions). Only three are required and can be time based ... wood box for early years, concrete box for middle years, metal pipe for later years. They can be made from right and left bridge approaches with no center spans. Once more, image Google "culvert" or "culvert wood" for ideas. (If you're really crafty, you might be able to draw them so that they would double as proper bridge approaches too.

Hey! Those look great! Awesome job OzTrans!
