The vegetation really brings the diorama to life. The small details in the culverts and other items also add to the layout. Will you be able to get the dioarama outside in natural light? I think that would really finish it off. Thanks so much for sharing, take care and all the best.

Thanks so much for sharing, take care and all the best. Hopefully one of these days I can move into a place where I can move the diorama inside and out. This one is kind of stuck where it is.

Looks great! Are there any more pics of your lead/piling set up? I'm curious and it looks good.

Here are some pictures of forming and pouring the piers. I have not been exposed to much bridge work, so some of this is based off of limited knowledge. Hopefully these don't topple over.    Drones are great for getting these type of photos.

Time to break out the concrete buckets!!!! Looks good so far to me from having seen some bridge work when I used to go to work with my late brother.

You should get some erosion control up in a hurry, maybe some hay bales or silt fence because once the EPA people see this post they will be at your house by the end of the day looking to fine someone. Don't answer your door today.
