Stony Creek Bridge Construction
Pictures showing the construction of an HO scale replica of the
Stony Creek Bridge that Guy Desautels is presently
assembling.
Guy expects that the bridge will be in place on
Canada Central layout before the CRHA/CARM convention, whose
opening will be held in our premises on May 19th, 2006.
The bridge will cross the Carillon River Canyon,
in the mountain's central section.
