I'm trying to model the NY&LB, and I need to replace my Lionel single-track bridges with a more prototypical 2-track bridge. I'm thinking of Morgan (Cheesequake), Shark River, or Manasquan River, which are similar designs. I'm planning to scratch build, and power the bridge. Has anybody done something similar?
The bridges in question are the Scherzer-Type, not the walking beam.
I'm also looking for information on what I'll need to make the trunnion, bearings, etc.

the Morgan Creek RR bridge is found all over the internet in photos. I also believe the website for historic Morgan may have information about the bridge as well.

I have a "double" Scherzer bridge in my own area, but one rail deck and one road deck: almost a standard through truss bridge with the almighty rockers added.
