Pedestrian Railway Bridges

[DiveController]

Can anyone offer any guidance on whether there are any prototypical model OO bridges out there pre-asembled?

In my mind these bridges look something like this one at Farranfore which is probably what I'd like to reproduce

Thanks,

thats very similar to the Hornby footbridge

The Hornby R076 is not far off.

Nice one, folks!

Does anyone use anything else (variety is the spice)?

That one's fairly standard for ex GSWR lines. By panelling it in, a half-reasonable MGWR area lookalike can be achieved. If modelling former DSER or GNR areas, it wouldn't really suit.

Wil be loosely based on CBSCR so that'll do nicely then:cool:

It would be fine for CBSCR design too. It raises an interesting issue; the necessity (if one wants accuracy) to research what type of signal cabin, footbridge, station architecture and so on, that would be appropriate for a layout set in a particular part of the country.

Try Alan Gibson as well, (4MM91) the Midland Railway footbridge stg£ 52

 

An etched brass kit that makes up into a common platform mounted footbridge design of the Midland Railway although it does also

contain within the frets, alternative sides that will ‘convert’ it to examples used by the Glasgow & South Western Railway. Photo taken from his catalogue

Thanks Weshty:tumbsup:

Are you familiar with the Kemilway brass kit of a footbridge similar to what you just put up there?

Anyone familiar with the Kemilway brass kit of a footbridge? Know how much they're worth?
