Roger....I have used quite a few of them on the layout. They come primed or at least mine did...then I painted them with a flat black spray.
Here are a few picture...

Thanks Alan, I forgot that you did use these. Now I know they will work. Thanks.
Roger good question I plan on using a few myself for my first O gauge layout and this will help me see what I need to do.
Nice work Alan
Just a reminder that they only have detail on one side. You might have to add some detail to the other side if both sides are seen or place two back to back for the full detail thus doubling the cost.
They will flex, but they can also break. You may want to consider using a heat gun, or hair dryer on this molded plastic for a tight curve.
You can also trim off the angled ends for a more continuous girder look. I painted mine with Krylon for plastics flat black and weathered with rust powders. The curves here are about O-100.
They can also be lettered (I used Woodland Scenics dry transfers).
Very nice work Bob! Love the realistic look that you have achieved.

Roger,
Thanks for bringing this up, I had forgotten about these and now seeing all they can do this will be a perfect fit for our layout.
Thank for asking the question and thanks to everyone else for answering it. Forum helps yet again!

I have handled them before and probably will go even tighter.
Mike CT suggestion is a good one if needed tighter.
Thanks
Ive had a read also on Alan's, and in fact I did save that "1", pic of the
Plate on Louis, I needed to hear, that exact infor !!!!!!!!!!
072 and a little tighter is no problem. If you curve them gently, you should have no problem with breakage but they do break so do it carefully....

Alan; Looking good.
Bob: Nice
Thanks Spence!
