Dear Bill: Thank you for the contact information. Yes, remembering that I wanted this from a posting of 2002 is quite a feat.
I contacted Jack Russell. He does not have any S Scale bridges -- at least he has not found any. He does have lots of HO. I ordered a Scherzer through truss rolling lift bridge. The number is 5941 and the price was $35.00 which includes shipping. The bridge is big; big enough for an aisle. I have been informed it is sent in a box nearly three feet long as the sides are one single piece! No splices! I also understand I am paying more for shipping than the price of the kit. I will be using this the template for my desired bridge. Mine will never open. I want a two track Scherzer through truss rolling lift bridge with 24 feet clearance (4 1/2") so I can run double-stacks under catenary. Again, Thank you for remembering me.

(I never knew they even offered S scale, now I'll have to ask him myself if any are left.) Thanks for your interest.
