| The assembled kit pictures below (with a blue background) were assembled by a 17 year old modeller. The wood in the kit was first weathered with the weathering mix HL-WEA-MIX. Basic tools of a razor saw and cutting blade were used for cutting the wood as needed. All kits contain full instructions, showing step by step how to assemble the model. The wood was glued with yellow carpenters glue. The kits contain nut bolt washers and scale rod (for the king and queen post bridges). | |||||||||||||||

81' TRESTLE BRIDGE This structure is a must for any layout that has a change in elevation. The design was used all over Canada and the United States, especially in British Columbia and Ontario. Many are still in existence and some are built today for temporary short lines. Kit materials are strip basswood, sugar pine ties (N scale ties are basswood), and Nut/Bolt/Washer castings. The enclosed step-by-step instructions and full-size templates make completion of this complicated-looking structure easy. They also explain how to assemble it on a slight curve, if desired. Give it a try! You will be amazed at your own workmanship. Length - 81 scale feet, height - 28 scale feet to bottom of rails. The ‘S’ scale model looks excellent for On30.

30' KING POST TRUSS BRIDGE This neat-looking bridge was used on every railroad in North America. It was the strongest and cheapest way to span any little stream or ditch. The kit includes strip basswood, sugar pine ties (N scale ties are basswood), Nut/Bolt/Washer castings, and actual steel rods. Full-size templates are enclosed for various clearances: 16' wide for standard NMRA Specs; 14' and 12’ for Narrow Gauge layouts. This design can also be modified for roadways. Proper size drill bit included. The ‘S’ scale model’s clearance is excellent for On30.

50' QUEEN POST TRUSS BRIDGE Canadian railroads were notorious for Queen Post Truss Bridges. They are a larger version of the King Post, and thus could span a much farther distance, especially with multiple spans. The kit includes strip basswood, sugar pine ties (N scale ties are basswood), Nut/Bolt/Washer castings, and actual steel rods. Full-size templates are enclosed for various clearances: 16' wide for standard NMRA Specs; 14' and 12' for Narrow Gauge layouts. This design can also be modified for roadways. Proper size drill bit included. The ‘S’ scale model’s clearance is excellent for On30.

86' HOWE TRUSS From 1840 to the 1870’s this design was the predominant structure to use. The design served the railroad industry until the 1930’s. The instructions are easy and straight forward with full size drawings/templates. Kit materials are strip basswood, sugar pine ties (N scale ties are basswood), Nut/Bolt/Washer castings and metal rods including the proper size drill bit. The ‘S’ scale model’s clearance is excellent for On30.  |

TIMBER PORTAL This design was used for tunnels that had problems with falling rocks. It can be made with or without the front braces, and adds a superb touch to any layout. All materials are strip basswood and include Nut/Bolt/Washer castings. Full-size templates are enclosed for various clearances: 16' wide for standard NMRA Specs; 14' and 12' for Narrow Gauge layouts. The ‘S’ scale model’s clearance is excellent for On30. We show pictures as well of the timber portal paired with the timber retaining wall.

|
TIMBER RETAINING WALL This kit contains twice as much strip basswood as is shown. You can build a big one, or two as per the picture, or many smaller ones. There are four basic designs in the kit. It’s made to mate with the Portal (left), but that’s not necessary, as it is an excellent addition anywhere in your layout. We show pictures as well of the timber retaining wall paired with the timber portal.

TIMBER TUNNEL LINER - CPR The Liner was used to shore back the walls and ceiling of a tunnel. Caveins were extremely dangerous as well as very costly in mainline down time, thus a Liner was very cost effective. The prototype for this model is the CPR Spiral Tunnels in British Columbia. The structure can be built in various configurations depending on your own layout design. All materials are strip basswood. The ‘S’ scale model’s clearance is excellent for On30.

TIMBER SNOWSHED - CPR One of the unique aspects of mountain railways is a snowshed. It is used to cover the mainline track where snow and rock avalanches occur. This structure is typical of most CPR western lines, circa 1938. The design is based on Mile 24 on the Coquihalla Subdivision. Measurements are 87' long and about 60' deep, but this is completely flexible. Kit materials are strip basswood and Nut/Bolt/Washer castings. This kit may take a while to assemble, but it is well worth it. The ‘S’ scale model’s clearance is excellent for On30  |
