Professor Carp’s Toy Train Emporium: Episode 7
Ever find any more information about Jr.Bridge Co. ? What about checking business licensees issued by the city of New York ? Surely they have some sort of archives on them . I’ve seen them listed on E-bay but never gave it any thought as to their origin.
Roger Carp’s video programs ought to be made available on DVD. They are wonderful. I would almost go so far as to give Roger the moniker of the “Mr. Rogers of the Toy Train World.” Great programs, Roger!
Roger…See “The Train Collectors Quarterly” , January 2014 , Vol.60, No. 1. , Bill Mixon article , “What’s A Junior Bridge”. Lots of pictures of Junior Bridge products , including the #401 signal bridge , with track contacts. If product numbers were sequential , the #401 would logically have been a later product in the Junior line , since they had products with 100,200 and 300 numbers . . Also , the Junior Bridge Co. , New Jersey addess was in Ridgefield Park. I believe your video says “Ridgewood Park”. Happy sleuthing ! Dave Kinzelman
Roger, I did have one of these bridges on my layout but it kind of ‘disappeared’ through the years. I always liked the unit as I am not a rivet counter. Sad to say but I have no info about it. Nice video and, unlike our politicians, you presented your story with a breath of fresh air because you didn’t use a teleprompter. Thank you.
Lots of pictures here: http://www.binnsroad.co.uk/railways/junior/
Great story…it highlights the fact that there will be secrets we may never know…it makes it fun to keep looking!
