    Bridge history
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2022*

The book is helpful with bridges and there history. It has picture of the actual bridges and when they were built and used. I am building an HO scale train layout and want to be period correct. The book was helpful.

    Bridges, Trestles & Tunnels
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2008*

This book is an excellent guide to model railroad bridges, trestles, and tunnels. It presents all types of construction including wood, stone, iron, concrete, etc and all era's from the early 18th century to the present.Many prototype photographs and illustrations are used to show the different types of bridges. You don't have to be a civil engineer to read the book, but it will give you a very good detailed view of each type of bridge.Each section in the book ends with information on how to model these structures. This includes construction details including sources for the needed products. Information is also included on how to finish the products.When I now see a bridge while traveling I have good knowledge of why and how the bridge was constructed.I am not a modeler (at least yet) but I think this book will appeal to both novices and more experienced modelers. I have two other similar books and this book is by far the best of the three. I highly recommend it.

    This guide had some very useful information in it
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2016*

This guide had some very useful information in it, but was not super sophisticated.  One important part, which caused me to change my plan, was to construct the remainder of the scenery...mtns, rock cliffs etc and paint them first, and go on to add the bridge later.  For me that caused a take down of a fair amount of track to get access to do the scenery inside an inner loop.  I had not thought to do this first, but the suggestion was good. My desire was to add a very large curved trestle bridge, with a track going under the upper trestle part.  No instruction for doing this sort of thing, though I do not think it will be very difficult to figure out.  Also, not much on stability etc for very long trestle...again I anticipate no major problem but we shall see.  Instructions on making the bents are quite clear and helpful.I also had an interest in bridge track, with the central 70 scale rails.  There were some helpful comments on this. I purchased a "Bridge piece" of track but it as a) straight and b) too short and c) only in 083. Buyer beware...I had not checked carefully enough just what I wanted.  The rest of the layout is in scale 100...so I was faced with the need for conversion tracks...just made for more of a mess with which I am not yet finished. I never found a flexible section of bridge track in the catalogue, and am still considering making my own.  Further, the Walthers large trestle bridge (one of the ones I will use) is expandable for quite a long length, but does not have roadbed pieces for all of the length possible, and in the roadbed that it does have, is clearly designed for inserting the individual rails on the wood frame.  Those among us who may be less compulsive with scale might just wish to lay down our own track on top of our own framing to go over the bents, or even on top of the roadbed provided.It is a learning process, and not all of the learning bits are included in this guide.  But still it was quite useful.
