For Rooster. Now I’m ready to start laying track. :slight_smile:
Jon I wanted a way to be able to remove the bridge if neccessary.

Again thanks to all. :slight_smile:

That looks really good. Might I suggest the Garden Metal Models tie strips with walkway on the bridge.

Roger, Nice item, but from the photos I used this style bridge doesn’t use walkways

Walkways really depend on the era that you are modeling. These days OSHA requires a walkway on all RR bridges. In the past it was required anywhere a RR worker would be required to cross the bridge.

There is an exception to every rule prototypical wise. N.S> blows stack trains and mixed freight daily across these bridges on the Lurgan Branch and note no guard rails? Pics were taken about 2yrs ago?? :wink:
