Hi Butch I've come into this topic a little late, but I wonder if a possible solution for a bridge would be the airfix or dapol girder bridge, it'll be 1/76 00 and may still be a little small but it'll be closer than a 1/87 HO bridge, mind you the UK loading gauge is smaller than the US so it may still be too small but it's an option.

It is also a bear to build – as a friend of mine said,”Great kit. I will never build another.” If you plan to use it with Sn3,, then it is OK, but it will no way handle standard gauge. It is also fairly short, relatively. I would take a look at (and for) some of the bridges done by Atlas, K-Line and Lionel for O. It’s easier to narrow than to widen... Span also makes a difference as to the most appropriate choice to modify. The CV parts are available as separate items if you want to scratch a bridge up from parts... Good luck!

It's sure to be better detailed Butch [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
