Truss Bridge Gussets
Posted by mkepler954 on Sunday, January 16, 2022 8:34 PM

I have many Atlas model# 83 Warren Truss Kits but most are missing the plastic triangular Gussets.  Any idea where I can buy them???

I think that you might find something suitable in Tichy's Parts Catalogue.

Another option would be Micro Engineering

I have used these with great effect when scratch building a bridge. You cut and trim to the size and shape that you want.

In the past, I have just cut my own out and used Micro-mark rivets on them.

Hello All,

Yes, Tichy Train Group has several options.

In the search function on their web page, I entered "Rivet Plates".

Here's what came up:

They also offer Splice Plates in other scales (sizes); N, S & O, that you might consider.

Hope this helps.
