HO Scale Assembled Bridge from Custom Model Railroads

  • The bridge has never been removed from its packing material originally from CMR. "Like New"
  • Laser-cut acrylic parts.
  • Model is of exceptional quality.
  • Bridge comes in 3 sections.
  • Also includes the 4 piers.
  • This bridge is a "Made To Order" model from CMR which means every bridge is a 1 off.
Here are some notes from the CMR website:

P&LE Beaver Bridge in HO scale

Beaver Bridge
Scale: HO
Size: 88"L x 18"H x 7"W


This ambitious HO scale bridge project features laser cut acrylic parts. The model is selectively compressed as it would be over sixteen feet long if we built it to scale. As modeled the bridge is a little under eight feet long. The model is built from laser cut acrylic and other materials and has thousands of parts.

History:

The Beaver Bridge is a rail bridge spanning the Ohio River between Monaca and Beaver, Pennsylvania. It consists of two spans: a southern cantilever through truss of 769 feet (234 m) with 320-foot (98 m) anchor arms; and a northern camelback through truss of 370 feet (110 m). The bridge currently carries two tracks of CSX Transportation.

The bridge was designed by Albert Lucius and built by McClintic-Marshall Company of Pittsburgh between March 1908 and May 1910 for the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. The bridge is notable in that the railroad proceeded with the cantilever design despite the collapse of the Quebec cantilever bridge during construction in 1907. The Beaver bridge replaced a single-track bridge built in 1890, 300 feet (91 m) downstream from the current bridge's position, which itself replaced an 1878 wrought iron bridge at the same location.
