Completed my model of the CNR lift bridge at Port Colborne, ON. Used a HO scale truss bridge and bass wood. Now I can build the 3x13 extension of my layout. JohnA

Thanks Rod. Smaller than real bridge, taken down in the late 90s. Spans Welland Canal. JohnA

Thanks guys! JohnA
Great job on the bridge.
Awesome job!
Great stuff there!
Wow! Really nice work. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your bridge!
Fabulous job, John. Two questions... will the lift section actually work and how did they get up to the control house on top of the span???
Paul- the bridge is stationary. There was a set of metal stairs and ladders under the control house for operator access. I left it out for train clearance. Used to be 2 very similar bridges in this location ( see pic). I am going to take a picture of my bridge and glue it to my backdrop to represent both bridges. JohnA

Excellent custom model based on a prototype. I almost never see modeling ambition and quality like this anymore. Well done!
Thanks Dan and others! If I need something, and it’s not available , I try to make it! Lots of modeling supplies out there for projects! JohnA
I live in Buffalo, NY and know the bridge from my trips up the Welland Canal and around the area. Nice job.
Thanks Bill... I live in Niagara Falls... JohnA
Very Cool!!!
Great build.
