DiveController Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 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, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Farranfore_train_station.jpg/1024px-Farranfore_train_station.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 snapper Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 thats very similar to the Hornby footbridge http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hornby-R076-00-Gauge-Footbridge/dp/B000H5V0SO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414706528&sr=8-1&keywords=hornby+footbridge EDIT: Us Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Hornby-R076-Footbridge-Building-Accessory/dp/B000H5V0SO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414706647&sr=8-1&keywords=Hornby+R076 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Broithe Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The Hornby R076 is not far off. Edit - Snap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DiveController Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) :-bd Nice one, folks! Does anyone use anything else (variety is the spice)? Edited October 31, 2014 by DiveController Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jhb171achill Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 jhb171achill Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 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.

0 Weshty Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 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.
