Greetings and Salutations from the North West....[:)] I'm going to be starting on my layout very soon and I'm running into a shortfall of information. I am loosely baseing it on a particular road and a particular bridge. This bridge is very large and it spans across the Columbia River here in Washington and connecting to Oregon. The bridge's name is the Celilo Bridge, a former SP&S (Oregon Trunk) bridge that's still very vital with the BNSF. Does anyone know of a good source for information or a source of bridge kits that I could use for this? I have no dimensional data at all and I've already sent e-mails to various railroad societies, historical societies and also to the BNSF itself. I've had a few pictures sent my way as well but, they lack the dimensional data that I need. Those of you who are not familiar with this particular bridge, it has a lift span at one end (The Oregon side of the Columbia River) and has 6 arched top steel girder bridges that lead up to the lift span itself. I've had a few suggestions from others that I've talked with and they ranged from "just use the Central Valley bridge" (Incorrect type for this application) to just scratch it.....that would be just "too fun "considering I have no plans!!! Please help....if you can!!! Thanks to you all. A Frustrated Modeler, John [banghead]
