Good evening Mr. Bachmann and ryeguy.

I would buy several, as this kit/ assembled? bridge is the most realistic I have seen, apart from two other manufacturers.
Ryeguy, please keep in mind that most (not all) American railroad bridges have walkways on one side of the bridge only. Note that I said most. There are always some exceptions, and on which side of the bridge the single walkway is/was placed might have been at the discretion of the particular bridge builder. And I am not an authority on bridge construction. Just giving my two cents worth. Thanks and have a pleasant evening.

Now that isn't anything that can't be solved with a little bashing.  :D


I'll also cast my vote for this!

That might work for the Kinzua Bridge Model I'm making.
