Well, when plans for the current CIOR started, I needed to match a viaduct that the PRR had constructed years before, when they raised their line through Cambridge City, Indiana.
Having looked and looked and looked I had finally given up all hope of finding anything close to the viaduct to use on the CIOR. I figured I would have to hand carve it or something like that at the very least.
Then one day, while surfing the net, I decided to type in "PRR Viaduct" and what should I spy, but a website called
www.modelrailroadstoneworks.com
sure enough, they had the exact one I needed.
So with that said, I emailed the owner and asked a few questions, it was quick and a couple weeks later the plaster formed castings arrived at my door.
So, I guess it proves the saying "just wait awhile, it will come" sure enough.
I still haven't gotten everything done, I am still in the fitting and forming stages of the build, but everything is ready for it to go up.
(to answer the question "are you affiliated with ModelRailroadStoneworks" NO! , just someone that found what they needed and liked what I saw).
The reason I posted this is for the PRR/PC/Conrail person out there that needs this.
Someone posted on trainorders.com about not being able to find it, so this is why I posted it.
