hartleymartin Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Atlas make an O gauge girder bridge kit. http://shop.atlasrr.com/p-2811-2rl-single-track-plate-girder-bridge.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66C Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hi Joe Bear in mind that you do not have to stick to products labelled as for O gauge - it depends on what you need in terms of the span and function. I used the Wills vari-girder kit to make the bridge shown for my O gauge layout. The lower layer supports the station building. To the right of the building another layer provides the parapet at road level. This arrangement can be found in several prototypes. Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenglade Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 You should be able to build anything that you need in industrial terms by using the components supplied by EMA http://www.ema-models.co.uk/index.php/abs-plastic.html the link is for girders extra but they do a large range of other components if you browse the site.

Pete Harvey Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I Could also design the etched parts that could be soldered to some very thin double sided vero board to five you a very strong prototypical 7mm Bridge? Email me through my site and I will sort something out for you? Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexible_coupling Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Slaters sell a sheet of rivets, and Peter Harvey sells a bolt-making etch. I just looked up the 'bolt making etch' - http://www.phd-design-etchings.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=25_70&product_id=161- is that intended to be pressed into something pliable like filler? Or am I wildly misinterpreting its' application? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
