Greetings,
Can anyone furnish me the dimensions of the Atlas O 3 rail dbl Pratt Truss bridge. I need the overall width, and the distance from the outside to the center rail, and the distance from center rail (track 1) to center rail (track 2). Thanks a lot! Ray

Pratt Truss bridge file. Click on the underlined phrase link to a picture file. Click on thumbnail pictures to enlarge.

Thanks, Mike! I have a place for it, but wanted to make sure it would fit :-)
Make sure you have about 10 inches of straight track on both ends of the bridge. Engines and cars with wide swing will hit the trusses if coming out of a curve into the bridge.

Very good point.
The two curves pictures are O-63 and O-54 they do work for my engine roster. Several are very close to hitting the bridge on the O-63 approach.
