Also known as an elliptical truss, this bridge is a graceful single track bridge that started to appear in the 1870's and was used through the 1940 on light trackage (code 55). In many cases, once the bridge had outlived it's railroad usage the bridge was converted to vehicle use. Some are still active today.

The kit features accurate rivet detailing, cross bracing detail, prototype pin connections, bracing wire with turnbuckles and hanging floor system.

This is our next bridge project. The prototype bridge is the LV double track open floor through plate girder bridge. Detail galore in this bridge as all floor details will be faithfully reproduced.

Projected to be released in Fall 2006 in both HO & N scales.

We will also be releasing a single track version.

This is our third bridge project. The prototype bridge is the PRR double track Parker Truss pin-connected heavy mainline bridge found in Whitford, PA. This bridge has all the items that make this a great project ... Large girders, Pin-connected, Cross laced members, Lacey superstructure.

It is also a BIG bridge with a span over 380 feet. Projected to be released in Winter 2006 in both HO & N scales.

We will also be releasing a single track version based on the PRR 52nd Street flyover bridge which is also a Parker Truss.
