I'm not big on a scratchbuild project like this, would not know were to start? I will email a few companys to see there take on it.
I remember reading about another bridge in a n-scale mag. where you used a HO scale atlas bridge to scratcbuild a deck truss bridge I guess you call it. Anyone remember this?
If so was it a HO scale atlas bridge you used for n-scale? Or could I used a central valley bridge to do it with?

They could probably do it in N scale if there is enough interest.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
Looks like a girder bridge on steriods. That would be a very cool project and the centerpiece of your layout.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Yes, you can obtain those pieces from Evergreen, Central Valley Model Works, Micro Engineering, and Plastruct. I assume you mean this bridge: http://bridgehunter.com/photos/28/00/280037-L.jpg
Its a definite scratchbuild project. Check the adds in your MR, there should be a custom model railroad company in there that does bridges.
This is a interesting bridge to me has anyone built it in n scale? Dose anyone know of a model builder company that could do it?
