spidge Tom, Thank you for your support and heartfelt pat on the back. I do agree that the photo does depict the curve as a little tight but in N sclae 17" is fairly generous. There are easements on both ends including the 80' girder section.

Your bridge is wonderful---question---how long is that bridge and did you install it in one piece? If not then what did you do to install said bridge?

Great thread. Extraordinary bridges shown so far
Thought you might like to see the twin 6 foot steel bridges on our outdoor "G" scale layout:
And you can ride through the bridges by watching the "cabride" video, posted on our website:

Way cool thread everyone. And Matt, That vid is KILLER. I could of swore it was a ride through the giant redwoods in CA.

Thank You.
The bridge is 24" long and is three sets of ME viaduct kits. I did install it in one piece built upside down after tracing the already installed track. When it was ready I cut away the plywood subroadbed and put the bridge in place.
I made the abutments from styreene.

Nice bridges everyone ,,,,,,keep 'em coming
N Scale Diesels......I like 'em
This is Not My bridge,I shot this Bridge today at a train show in Taunton Mass..
And here is a shot I took at another Train Show some time in the past..
And here is the one on My layout... Not a bridge but right now as close as it gets...
I posted these in WPF last year.
First, the only railroad bridge on my mainline:
A little upstream, a couple shots of a covered highway bridge:
This bridge is built by friends in the Netherlands. I took the pic at a FREMO meeting. Gila River

Anyone had to offer these bridge kits. And anyone would do it.

That "Gila River" bridge is absolutely spectacular! Was it perhaps based on the Southern Pacific Pecos River Bridge on their "Sunset Route in West Texas?" Sure reminds me of it.
Beautiful structure!

Go to their Gila River site. There's even a map and - of course - progress report.
Any new bridges ?

A friend of mine from Germany build this interstate bridge:

Personally, my n-scale bridge module is clamoring for some attention. I had the pleasure and honour to work on the Gila River bridge project. I skipped the building of the bridge towers and deck part though.

I have yet to install it and finished the scenery aspect because it is part of a very tall duck under (55") and I am still in the process of constructing part the layout and don't want to damage it.
