Well isn't that interesting the bridge is variation on a Pratt Truss. If you go here (http://pghbridges.com/basics.htm) you will notice that the bridges used at Celilo aren't quite Pratts. I'd say it's a Curved Chord Pratt. Though you said you already did this, I looked around and only found one really good bridge but I betcha its the wrong scale (S) and not cheap (http://www.riverraisinmodels.com/pratt.html). It's a beauty. The other one that might be a solution though not techincally correct would be the Atlas Curved Chord Bridges. They're cheap. [:D] Otherwise you're spending money on a good bridge book, spending time scratch building. I hope you have a cool spot for it on the layout because it's a great feature. I have the old Kalmbach Bridges & Buildings book from 1965. [:D] If you want send me a private email and I'll send you a scan of the Pratt Bridge pages. Well I guess we'll have to wait to see what you come up with. Good luck! [8D]
