Hi everyone - looking for suggestions on how to go about building a realistic single track curved girder bridge for O72 and wider curves. It seems the price to buy some of these pre-built or custom built online can get very expensive very quick. I've attached an image I found online that is to my liking for reference. Thanks in advance!

Please check what Bridgeboss has to offer also, available in all curve sizes and in different styles.

First, cut the curved roadbed from plywood using a saber saw. Then, cut strips of thin plywood or Masonite for the side girders. Support on piers cut from MDF (medium density fiberboard).
Real railroads don't use curved girders like these (highways do). But these are inexpensive and don't look bad. Just ignore the bridge engineers who show up to point out that a real railroad wouldn't do it this way!
