Bridge: Ok, what did I just buy? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Some of you will remember the string a while back where I restored a Dorfan 410 bridge for a buddy. I just bought this on e-bay and the sheet metal looks exactly like the Dorfan bridge, but the base is lithographed, not painted. Who made it and when? Who was using who's dies?

thanks

Steve

Looks Nuremberger style to me. Marklin? Bing?

Maybe Roland can chime in on this.

I saw that tonite and thought it was a great piece of tin!

Thanks for the info. Was the Dorfan bridge from the same tooling?

thanks

Steve

Looks good. But this question sure does give rise to the statement of:

"I gotta bridge I can sell ya!"

that is nice Steve

Thanks for all the picture comparisons Roland. Very similar, but obviously not the same.
