Does anyone know of a good curved bridge or trestle? It dosnt matter what kind or radius.
Thanks
I’m just curious… How can it not matter what radius?
It was kind of funny but I was in a bind having to bridge a gap in an area right after a # 6 switch. The straight area was easy using a pier girder but the curved area past the switch I ended up building a rather old delapidated curved girder out of thin plywood and dowels. Just cut my curves from the plywood using a scroll saw and added dowel piers to hold it up as well as wedging it into the foam banks with adhesive. It turned out very strong and looks pretty. I put road bed across the top and leveled it with the existing roadbed on the banks. You can build one fairly easy to fit any curve you have. The great part is that it only took 30 min. to make…with the help of the scroll saw. [:D]
What scale do you model J Dog?
Midwest Products Co. has a tool called a"Trestle Buddy"that you can use to align HO scale track on a wooden trestle any radius and length. That would be handy for scratch building a bridge.
JV Models sells a 36" long wooden trestle in HO and N scales. Campbell Scale Models has HO Scale 70’ & 110’.
Blair Line sell a N-Scale kit that can be built curved or straight.

Do you have any pictures of what your bridge? Would like to see them.
Actually I’m going to post some pics in the next week on my website. I’m just about finished with track laying though I want to get the street running section in before putting the pics up. Here’s the website…give me a few weeks and I’ll post some pics.
