Good Day,
Who is the O Scale Steel Bridge Builder located in Missouri? He made real nice bridges made of steel that he welded together. I don't recall his web address.
Regards,
Frank

My local PBS station aired a rerun of Tracks Ahead last night that featured one of the owners and his layout.
Hi Frank, Hopefully, these photos will be helpful to you. I thought you might like to see a few Stainless Unlimited bridges in situ on my layout. They were custom-made for me and are very sturdy - one of them (2nd, 3rd, & 4th photos below) stopped me in my fall and took my whole weight as I reached out, having tripped dismounting the layout. I decided not to have three of them painted by the company, since my wife and I both took a liking to their natural sheen, but four I did have painted.
This is the bridge that caught my fall...
A close-up for your inspection...
Once I learned curved bridges existed in the real-world, I had to have one on my layout, and Stainless Unlimited seemed the place to go for its particular dimensions...

Hi Guys,
Do any of you know if Stainless Unlimited is still around? I've tried the web link but it's not working.
Thanks!
I was waiting on him to do a job and I waited a year and a half for him to get his shop set up after he moved. Then he quoted me a price, did the drawings and took my deposit and three months later he sent me my deposit back stating he could not do the work cuz he did not have the time. I had lots of conversations with him and he is a nice guy and a stand up guy but he coudlnt do the work so I think he may have shut down
I had a booth next to him at a great train expo show in the St. Louis area (either Collinsville or St. Charles, I can't remember) a couple of years ago. That's when I was introduced to his products. They are quite impressive and appear to be very strong. He was selling various bridges that had been sitting around along with some o gauge cars from his own collection. My take away was that he did the bridges on the side of whatever his real job was and that he wanted to do more with the bridges but their was not the market to support such an endevor. He had mentioned going to York in the past with the bridges. He is a nice guy and I hope he is able to continue making the bridges as they are a quality product.
