Bridge-Masters - What was your experience?
Posted by Buckeye Riveter on Saturday, January 1, 2005 10:54 PM
After last year’s fiasco with a company that I had not purchased from before, I’m a little more cautious.

I was thinking of making a purchase from a company called Bridge-Masters http://www.bridge-masters.com/ and was wondering if anyone else had ever had any experiences with this company. [?]

Thanking you in advance for your help and guidance. [:D]

Buckeye, I have ordered three or four times from Bridge-Masters and have had good luck every time. I 'm sure I will order again when the need arises.

I have their culvert bridge, which is relatively small, and it has given me absolutely no problems for the few years it has been in service through all extremes in weather. I would buy from them again without hesitation.

I bought a used LGB engine from them last year at The Big Train Show. They were great to deal with, the engine ran fine when it got home MA.
