I am looking to have a good sized, metal, Pratt Truss bridge made. I thought there was a builder in the sponsors section but either I missed it or it is no longer there.
I was told that there was a vendor at the York train show prior to the pandemic that created a train display of nothing but the bridges he builds. Would any of you possibly know of this vendor or any other builder of Metal bridges? Thanks for info you can give me.

I don't know if he's still building bridges, but Jim Ballmann of Stainless Unlimited does great work. He built a bridge for me about 5 yrs ago and it's rock-solid.

Bad news. This domain (stainlessunlimited.com) appears to be for sale. Could it be a different address instead?
(Hopefully Jim hasn't gone out of business.)

Check out this web site.
Absolutely excellent custom bridges. Far exceeding others in the field.
Seems like a true craftsman familiar with the prototype.
I’ve been following mainline bridges on Instagram so some time now. Haven’t seen to much lately. His work tho is by far hands down the best out there. Being a fabricator for 20 years myself, this guy knows his stuff. Nice clean welds no distortion or warping. I wouldn’t go with anyone else.
