Bridge

Photos are kinda grainy so tough to tell for sure. 

The cribbing could be railroad ties or could just be wood cribbing of wood a size similar to railroad ties (8 ft long 8x8's?)

The verticals could be individual boards or they could be sheet piling.

The supports appear to be cribbing made of 12x12 wood beams.  They are probably resting on wood pilings with the cribbing and piles/boards protecting them and the space around and between the abutments filled with stone or dirt.

Deemiorgos,

Where is that photo?  CN1009, if I make out the logo correctly.  Somewhere in Nova Scotia, by chance, on the SE or SW shore?

Thank you Dave; makes sense

Thank you Dave; makes sense and gives me a good idea on how to scratch build walls and supports.

The bridge crosses a tributary of the Petitcodiac River in New Brunswick.

Thanks,

I see that river eventually enters the northwest arm of the Bay of Fundy.  The general scene in that photo is reminiscent of photos on the southern end of Nova Scotia, including the area around Shelburne where my father was from.  We visited there several times when I was a kid, and once took a train from Ontario all the way, I believe, to Shelburne - though we may have finished in Halifax and been picked up by family.  That would have been in the mid 60's.

I regret now taking a train when the routes were longer and went across the county.

Any guesses on how long the bridge is? I'm guessing about 70 feet?

Looks to me to be about 50-60 feet.

the 10 wheeler and tender, or the RPO car? So I'd guess 60 feet or so. .....DaveB

I found this, which is the closest I could find, but is a tad shorter. It might work though regarding selective compression for the module's scene I have in mind.

I ordered the bridge, as I want to focus more on scenery on the next module more so than scratch building a bridge.

Size

Looking at plans of passenger cars, heavyweight cars are about 14'6" high.  The bridge appears to be about 4.5 to 5 times as long as the car is high, giving it a length of about 70 ft.

I might have been tempted to kitbash two N scale bridges to get a bridge with a shallow girder depth.

Dave,

I'm getting lazy and may need to save my energy to build another turntable, but a great idea you have that I overlooked; kitbashing two smaller bridges.

BTW, this is the look I want  in regards to texture and colour for the tide out scene for the bridge. I will use this image as a guide.

I'm thinking unsanded grout poured into the riverbed.

I concur Dave.

I got the bridge in the mail today. I think it is going to be a fun kit to build, paint and, weather.

I'm impressed by the detail

I'm impressed by the detail of this kit. I also like that the plastic if grey. Look forward to getting out the airbrush again.

Much nicer than the somewhat toyish Atlas bridge I have.

This is what the kit is supposed to look like when completed. A lot of potential here for painting and weathering.
