While doing a Google search I came across this post.  LOL!  Looks like you came across this once before almost 11 years ago.  I hope someone can help you this time.  Doesn't seem to be a lot out there.

? on Toy Trains Unlimited Lionel Bridge

Hi Marty

Good grief, I don't know which is worse - forgetting I asked about this 11 years ago or still not getting to all the "stuff" that occupies my train area.

Too funny. Thanks again Marty.

Greetings.

One of the things I have found recently now that my "inventory" is all in one place is a unopened box from Kenny Barnes that says "Toy Trains Unlimited - Lionel Bridge Kit"

Anyone know what this is or have a picture of one assembled?

Many thanks,

Paul

How about posting a photo of what you have?

Sure Dave, although I'm not sure this will help. As I mentioned - still sealed in the original shipping box.

Paul

Ah, this must be one of those

Schrödinger's cat

exercises!?  Until the box is opened we have no idea what's inside??

Judging by the size of the box, my guess is⇓

...which came in kit form at one time, I believe.

Just curious - is there a reason why you do not simply open the box to see what you have?

Hi Luther, Yes - I may want to sell it and it would be easier, and perhaps more desirable to a potential buyer, to keep it in the original shipping carton. That is why I was hoping to find a couple of examples to view from either fellow forum members or a wider search.

It appears to be a generic box that the seller used to ship the item to you.  Unless it was packaged by JFK etc. I doubt a buyer would pay a premium.  Plus neither party knows exactly what is inside. 

I recall in my memory bank that this was a laser cut wood kit that was meant to resemble the bridge on the 1952 catalog cover. I recall a store or business by that name that was making these along with some other postwar Lionel nostalgia type items in the mid to late 2000s.

Looked very similar to what Jim posted in your thread from 11 years ago.

I ‘d suggest opening the box to verify what it is. This isn’t a sealed 773 or FM Train Master. No one will value a bridge kit in a sealed non-descript cardboard box over one that has been opened to show what it is.

Edit: funny timing (or sneaky algorithms) that the attached listing showed up in my FB feed after my post. It appears Kenny Barnes is still at it and is still selling the repro smoke pellets I remember as one of his products although the bottle has changed. Perhaps you can contact him to get more info on the bridge kit.

A very kind forum member sent me a picture of his assembled kit. I think I'll put it together, paint it Orange and Blue, and use it as a display piece. I'll let you all know how it turns out. Thanks again.

Paul

Could you share the pictures?

Here are pictures of the Bridge kit Toy Trains Unlimited sold.
