Those bridges: I also purchased the Walthers HO double-track bridge, thinking if it's two-track in HO, it could be single-track in S. Unfortunately, I forgot the issue of height. I still have the kit and occasinally contemplate some way of raising the bridge without making it look awkward. Anyone have an idea?

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 ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
