Re: L (EL ) Bridges

Hello Traction folks

We are new to the Forum and are still learning how to navigate the posting they have. Not hard just new.

We offer curved and straight elevated bridges at 14 " off grade. The trestles can be ordered at a different height, but we set it off the real sizes we saw in Chicago and New York. The diameters are 31" to 34" to start and go to 100" diameters and beyond. The photos show a 6400 boxcar and a Budd car able to pass on the 34 " demo we take to train show in Florida. Wider diameters(radi) make this easier for passing trains.

But proof of concept was necessary. We have improved the prototype to have sides on the curve sections so we can add a I beam bracket to show more Proto type look. In Chicago now and will post ASAP the New look. The Forum will see it and be able to send suggestions.

As an American Manufacturer, we do not have a 3 month wait time to change types and looks. We are responsive to the customers we serve

Thought something foolish was in order last Christmas.

Put the Polar express on the "EL" Bridge around and through the tree!!!

About a 42" oval to handle the Fastrack curves and the train. .

The trestles are not drilled into the tile floor, Miss Linda would not approve---

Traction, Elevated Urban layout builders, and trolley folks

We have something new to announce.

We have an "I Beam Side Bracket" to attach to our curved and straight sections. The straight section has a Z support to connect two decks. that is the lower part of the Z.

The I beam is bolted through the side flange and to the beam in front an behind it like a real 12" to 1'

Our advantage is that the Curved sections are now four sided. They function the same as they did before, but now have a Prototype look. They even bolt front to back and have the nuts on the outside for realism.

As we are the people who make it look real, you need only purchase the side that is seen, the back is not seen and need not be purchase.
