This O Scale Girder Bridge with Trestle | 30″ Long Miniature Train & Railroad Scenery is a great addition to add realism to your train layout. Our version of this wooden bridge from MrTrain.com spans 30 inches of your model railroad. It is completely assembled and arrives in three sections. Simply screw the pieces together using the pre-drilled holes and screws provided. This O scale bridge with trestle scenery is hand crafted in the USA with solid pine wood. We use water resistant glue and finish with an enamel flat black coloring. Any O scale track & fasttrack from places like Train World or Tom’s Trains NY will fasten to this bridge so your O gauge trains can travel across the top of your train display. Add some ballast and trees to complete the project! These are hand crafted in Western Pennsylvania, proudly made in the USA.

Information to decide on a theme for your railroad:
~What is your railroad’s purpose? Where are your trains going to and coming from and why? Are they going to carry passengers from one town to another? Will they mostly carry coal to towns or local ports, timber to lumber yards, or farm goods to markets, etc?
~What is the setting: the location and era? Where and during what time period will your trains be operating? These can be either specific or general. If you like steam trains you will want to model the era before 1955. Diesels became popular in the late 1940’s and beyond. The period between 1945 and 1955, the transition era, saw both steam and diesel running the rails. The location you want to model would help you decide which particular railroads – like Union Pacific or Norfolk Southern, etc.- you want running through your layout.
What kind of model trains or equipment do you want to run on your layout? Again the place and the time you want to model may help you decide. Or it could be the other way around. You may really want to model the Pennsylvania Railroad because you like the colors, for example, in which case the general location and time frame would already be known.
~What type of service will your model railroad provide and to whom? What industries and/or towns will your trains be carrying goods (or people) to and from? Do you like coal-hauling, logging, farming, oil industries, passenger service?
