Butch; Sad, really sad.--I know how you feel.After the recommendation of the
double wide CV by Pieter, I too just remembered that I have them also. In fact,
that's why I abandoned the project on the single track conversion.Sad. memory
can be a bummer sometimes. Mike B.

Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Plastruct Pratt Truss Bridge Kit
Butch,
I have the same needs in bridges, I recently purchased a 24" lionel Truss
bridge on ebay for $11 and I have Bill Hoss of Lake Junction Models make me a
replacement deck kit. This is something like the MicroMark/PlasticVille deck
replcement but a lot longer. This Lionel bridge is close to s-scale in size.
When I get the kit from Bill I will post some pictures. I really need to span
about 35" so I will have a deck girder section fill the rest of the space.

Thanks Bill & Peter.
I went to the CVMW website and downloaded the directions for building their HO
bridge kit. Quite an undertaking. You basically build the trusses, girders and
braces from flat stock and then assemble the bridge. At this level of work, if
you had a model to copy or a set of good blueprints/plans you could almost
scratchbuild a bridge just as easy and in the correct gauge. I did say almost.
Peter, you struck a memory cell. I have one of these Walthers bridge kits put
away at home from my 2000 journey into "S". At least I'm consistent, I still
want a bridge. Wow, that's really bad. I better look around the house before I
go out and buy more S stuff....I might already own it. :-) Sad..really sad.
Bill, I agree, reducing should be easier than splicing in new material to
widen.
I'll report back after putting the mic to the Walthers kit to see how it scales
out.
Butch
