This is from the Hundred Year Old Bridge Co. Very nice. Double track width. 47 1/2 inches long.

I thought I’d share it with you guys…

I think I will paint it " Blueberry Blue ".

Very nice, Chuck! Boy that’s a big sucker!

That’s awesome! It just needs a couple of red flashing LED’s on the top for the low flying aircraft, and maybe a couple on the bottom for the tall masted ships.

I just started wrapping the Mrs’. Christmas presents and everything was made in 3rd world countries…I’m ready to send it all back.

I couldn’t find the Hundred Year Old Bridge Company thru Google…

Can you forward an address?

Thank you,

Kurt

Nice! What kind of paint would you use on that?

100 year bridge paint, Jim. [;)]

Noticed on their site that they use a “milled finish” that accepts paint well. I imagine a spray enamel like Krylon would work okay.

The prices seem reasonable and I like the fact that they offer both single and double track versions in various lengths.

Thanks, Guys.

I plan on using a Krylon paint on it.

Tip…If you order from the Manufacturer, the price is $5.00 higher, than one of their distributors.

I got mine from Patrick’s Trains in Wheeling, W.Va. Shipping was only $12.00, instead of $17.00 from York, PA. So, I saved a cool $10.00 in the process.

Price was $79.95 plus $12.00 shipping for the double wide.

What do you plan on washing it with before you paint? I forget but they mentioned something in particular.

:wink:

Sweet bridge - I’ll add this link to my “wishlist” folder…

In answer to your question…I looked in the product packaging and on the Manufacturer’s webpage and could not locate any information on this subject.

Would you share, what you heard with me?? Thanks.

Thanks, John

I think I will paint it " Blueberry Blue ".

…but of course! Would any other color even be considered!

Chuck - just wash it with mild dish detergent and water and dry it quickly and thoroughly to avoid any rust forming. You can also wipe it down with some laquer thinner to flash off any residues not removed by the detergent wash. A primer coat might be wise.

Thanks for the advice, Roy. I appreciate it.

Nice Bridge Chuck! Can hardly wait to see what it looks like after it is painted. Take Care.

16

Chuck, I thought you might paint it Scarlet and Grey.

17

Hmmmmmmmmmmm ?? Are those Ohio State colors??

18

Nice bridge, it will look sweet with a couple of trains heading in opposite directions over it.

This feature shown below is a particularly nice touch that appeals to me:
