Greetings all,
I'm curious as to what is available out there, regardless of what brand, in finding a bridge or combination of bridges to span an approximate 16 1/2" straight distance of elevated track. The entire layout is C-track and ideally, the bridge would also accommodate C-track.
Thank you for any helpful tips.
George

by "elevated track" do you mean in an urban setting?
If it is going over a big valley, I love the Bietschtal Bridge by Faller...

Yes this is spanning elevation over other tracks in an urban setting ( which are at tabletop grade). Bridge must allow clearance below for normal train traffic.

Noch laser cut:

Specifically they have a town bridge available: 67060

They are expensive but meant to be pretty good. I plan to buy the fishbellied bridge.

Have a look on these bridges:

I'm interested in the B100 "Bogenbrücke", which looked great in a shop I visited. It looks similar to the Sydney Harbour Bridge!

A lot of money, but I would not say expensive... Cool

Hi,

One possibility is to build it your self like my father did in the early 60's.
It is still in excellent condition and safely stored Cool

Id think that due to the usually custom footing locations needed and custom length in many cases, hand building leads to better fit results. Its a matter of fitting the layout to the dimensions of the bridge, or fitting the bridge to the dimensions of the layout.
