Awesome bridge kit - Nigels - 05-06-2018 Although intended for HO/OO gauge railway this bridge should work just as well for BPT layouts, what do you think super? I know you love your bridges https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-HO-Gauge-Double-Track-Bowstring-Bridge-by-WWS-Model-Railway-MDF-Scenery/182711555510?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 RE: Awesome bridge kit - Off The Rails - 05-06-2018 I like that! I’ve considered model railroad bridges for situations where the standard Plarail and Trackmaster bridges don’t fit. RE: Awesome bridge kit - Super - 05-06-2018 Gosh darn you Nigels... ![]() ![]() I was hoping to find a distributor here in the States but it looks like they only can be had from the UK. More research reveals that this is actually a World War Scenic company and I am also interested in some of their other bridges and buildings. https://www.war-world.co.uk/index.php/scenery-oo_gauge_scenery/?k=33624:22:::39 I think I may grab some things to add to the long list of projects I have now. I was hoping to find more videos on some of their other bridges and buildings but I did manage to find one on the bridge you posted about. Looks cool... RE: Awesome bridge kit - Nigels - 05-06-2018 Sorry dude, but I know bridges like tankers are one of the things that push your buttons so I figured I should at least let you in on them. I've actually ordered one of the ones I linked to as they seem a steal at the price, I want to see how well made they are and how they look in the flesh etc... so expect some pictrues/reviews soon. If you want some of their models I'm more than happy to act as a middleman for you, just drop me a PM ![]() I should have added that one I linked to is a dual HO/OO track bridge, so will easily accomodate a single track of blue bridge with prenty of height clearance I would expect. But there are others such as lattice work that do not have 'tops' as such, so they would work if height were to be an issue.... RE: Awesome bridge kit - Super - 05-06-2018 LOL....its not your fault I have no will power Nigels. ![]() ![]() RE: Awesome bridge kit - Nigels - 05-07-2018 Now that's what I love to see, parallel thinking, they look ideal for that also ![]() RE: Awesome bridge kit - Nigels - 05-11-2018 Here you go Super my bridge arrived yesterday, I constructed it and find plarail will fit under it easily, room for two road tracks as well, have a look; ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: Awesome bridge kit - Chrizzly - 05-11-2018 One question: Would this actually support the weight of 2 'C' battery trains once it's suspended? That wood looks pretty weak to me. ![]() RE: Awesome bridge kit - Super - 05-11-2018 Oh, My...that looks awesome. How long did it take you to assemble? Thanks Nigels. ![]() EDIT: I just noticed there is a difference between the one you have and the one in the video....but also the price ![]() RE: Awesome bridge kit - Nigels - 05-11-2018 (05-11-2018, 10:08 AM)Chrizzly Wrote: One question: Would this actually support the weight of 2 'C' battery trains once it's suspended? That wood looks pretty weak to me. I don't think it would have a problem, the spars all interlock and the sides are double skinned so all together its pretty strong. It's designed to take OO gauge trains, which if you get the larger pacifics are probably heavier than a PlaRail carrying a 'C' cell, besides don't forget you also have the stiffness of the actual PlaRAil track as well, if you were to use the dual road track it would be very stiff.

Virtually no time at all, the pieces are all pre-cut very accurately with the majority of the smaller pieces already removed from the actual bridge sections. I guess including gluing it together it took me maybe 15-20 minutes in total, then I just left it overnight for the glue to cure. Yes, the one I have is different to the one you posted, that one is either smaller or is taller, but I suspect the former. The one I bought was only just over £12 off eBay (buy it now price) with free UK shipping. But there are quite a few variations on eBay from the same seller including a lattice bridge without a top at all if you're really worried about clearance, although with Oliver there is an easy 3/4" free air under the lowest cross brace. ![]() |
