A scratch-built O-scale (1:48) "thru-truss" model railroad bridge I just finished for an old friend/customer.
18 inches long, 8 wide, 7 tall.
It has no deck, as his railroad tracks are mounted straight to his tabletop, so a "deck" will be painted on.
I could have used commercially available-but-expensive plastic girders and beams, but I've had a butt-load of wood leftovers from ship models projects stashed around my shop. I decided to use 'em up on this... even though that means cutting, sanding and gluing 3 strips of wood together for every beam instead of just lopping off a chunk of plastic.
Loosely based on a bridge my friend used to ride across outside of Atlantic City, NJ on the Pennsylvania-Seashore Lines.
