I built a bridge that resembels yours from a aristo kit, it lasted 10 years till the dog ate it.

Nice work, Kevin. Sorry it's not online. Most likely, that review was either A) not digital or B) the photo somehow was corrupt/not usable.

The Howe truss bridge is a kit from Kamloops Junction. It was a kit that I had done a review of a few years back (though not yet in the on-line archives). The low trestle leading up to it is scratchbuilt, using "common" trestle construction techniques.
