<P>I intend to buy the Central Valley Pratt bridge Walther's ref # <FONT size=2>210-1902. </FONT><FONT size=3>Additional info on Walther's site:</FONT></P> <P>"Single-track bridge features a removable upper truss, premolded bridge ties and extra-long girder components. Ties accept Code 70 or 83 rail, easily modified for Code 100 rail. "</P> <P>The photo does not show any guard rails. Who has this bridge who could fill in some details?</P> <OL> <LI>Will the ties take guard rails?</LI> <LI>Is there no track at all with the kit?</LI> <LI>I want to join two to make a two span bridge. Any difficulties?</LI> <LI>I use code 83, and as far as I can tell from the photo below, my guard rails will also be code 83. Looks to me to be the same rail.</LI></OL> <P>The photo below is something I took to help when I get around to laying track across bridges. Warning, photo taken in Australia, but the practices are probably not too far different.</P> <P>[img]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-4/1169217/DoraCreekBridge4.JPG[/img]</P>
