Truss Bridge Kits

Would anyone happen to know if there is an easy to build HO single track Truss Bridge Kit available? I purchased the Central Valley as well as Walthers kits and returned them because I didn't want it to be that involved. On the other hand, the Atlas kits too short and lack detail.
Thanks Larry

you can kit ba***he atlas bridges and make a nice looking bridge..I have made bridges from Atlas deck girder and truss bridges in both HO and N scale for my HO layout and they look really nice...even did a curved bridge using Atlas N gauge deck girders, plastruct, and styrene plastic...if you want a nice looking bridge, you may have to get THAT involved....Chuck

Chuck, if the bridge was more in forground of the layout I guess i would probably be more motivated to build something spectacular. I never considered bashing a Atlas Bridge. Are you mating two bridges into one? Please explain....Larry

Another alternative would be to look at what is available in the larger scales to get the length you need. Having a high truss or chorded bridge can still be prototypical.
