Q K-Line swing bridge.
Posted by ed11670 on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 11:28 AM

Could someone tell me the size of the opening? I don't want to buy it, if my trains won't go thru. Thanks.

There is one on E-Bay right now with alot of pictures. It appears to be a standard extension bridge, and I would doubt highly that any equipment would be too wide to fit through the truss. As for height, as long as you aren't running stacked intermodals you should be OK.

I checked the 2005 K-Line catalog and it looks like there is about an inch between the outside rails and the superstructure. It looks like it might be able to handle a scale PS-1 boxcar, but I don't think a double-stack would work. Of course, a handy andy might be able to trim the superstructure for a topless look and avoid height problems ...
