Building a Model Railroad Bridge

This video shows me scratch building my first truss bridge for a model train layout.

This video will show the design drawings, layout, and build overview. We will be using red oak for this build with a small amount of model wood. This bridge's final size is 27 inches long, 7.5 inches high and 6 inches wide. The truss supports are .25 inches x .25 inches x length.

Tools used in this build:
1. Rigid 10 inch table saw
2. Laguna 14/12 Bandsaw
3. Delta disk sander
4. Brad Nailer
5. Dewalt Miter Saw
6. Fine Tooth Hand Saw
7. CA Glue and Zap spray
8. Tightbond 3 wood glue
9. Dewalt tabletop planer

Part 2 of this video will be painting and weathering.
