Hi Tom [2c] I'm assuming you are modeling a modern era railroad because JV Models makes a [url="http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/345-2016"]curved wood tressle bridge[/url] but I'm thinking wood's not your thing I saw a video of Rick Rideout's L&N layout and he had a super long girder deck bridge sitting on a wide curve. What he had done was attach[url="http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/255-80166"] plate girder sections[/url] to the sides of the sub roadbed. For the piers, he wraped thin styrene, painted a concrete color, around the front (outward facing) of 2" x 4" wood risers. It looked very convincing. If you want more detail you can dress the underside with styrene "I- beams" and ballast the deck. Anyway, it looked good, didn't cost a fortune and seemed easy to build. If you can rent [url="http://www.allenkeller.com/GMR_start.htm"] Allen Keller[/url] tapes from your L.H.S., check out volume #9 RickRideout's L&N Henderson Subdivision. Of course it's the only video that "SOLD OUT". Maybe if enough people ask, they'll make more copies.
