Standard Gauge Bridge Project Finished | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

COTonyOGR Forum Member

I thought I'd share a couple of pictures of my latest project. As an O Gauger, this is the first bridge I've built in Standard Gauge, and it was a challenging and rewarding experience to construct it. The bridge measures 4 feet in length, but when installed will include a 1 foot girder bridge on each end for an overall length of 6 feet. It is 32 inches in height. It is constructed of aluminum, wood and brass. The aluminum component is a Stephen Canfield AT&SF Diablo Canyon 2 track O gauge bridge which I modified. The scratch built piers and railings are my own design. I tried to capture an art deco/tinplate overall look, and I am pleased with the result. I'm now looking forward to building the two small girder bridges and installing everything on the layout.

Thanks for looking and Happy Railroading!
