Description
HO scale 200 foot Single track Parker Truss Bridge Kit.
This HO scale Single Track Bridge is super detailed from a bygone era. Built in
the early 1900's, this bridge is a beautiful work of art and will great upon
your diorama, layout, or mantle. She assembles much like her 150' sister bridge,
the 1902, except she is 50 feet longer. Including an assembly joint every 25
scale feet to improve versatility. She is a welcomed addition to our family and
hopefully yours. The Heavy
Duty Laced girders included with this kit, can be purchased separately in a
package of 5 for custom building many different steel structures and bridges.
The model as built from the plans spans over all 28 inches long. Approximately 6
1/4 inches at its highest point and 4 3/4 inches wide. The over-head clearance
well above 3 3/8 inches from a code 83 rail head. From rail-head to bottom of
shoe is approximately 15/16 inches. The parts are injection molded of a high
impact grade of styrene plastic that is the same as used in the popular
automobile and military hobby kits. Cementing and painting requires the same
materials and techniques in common use in the construction of those kits and the
most popular model railroad kits.
The bridge kit components are ideal for kit bashing and the scratch building of
other bridges and steel structures. Also, the parts are completely universal
with the original 1902 truss kit family as well.
Versions of this bridge kit can be altered in design to match prototype
structures you prefer. It is easy to create bridge structures using parts
available from the Central Valley line of products and other manufactures
combined. This 200' Parker Truss kit resembles one of several 175' pin / bar
connected bridges located on the Southern Pacific Mainline which runs East &
West from Sacramento, CA over Donner Pass to Reno, NV.
Modifications in bracing, rail, guard-rails, walkways and railings, telegraph
arms attached, and different portals are common.They are most often painted
black, but there are examples of silver, gray, red oxide and green.
