Our Products
All our kits use precision, laser-cut parts and contain all the materials needed (except paint and track) to completely build the model. Simple hand tools such as a sharp hobby knife and tweezers are the only tools needed.
Our primary products are kits which, when assembled, make distinctive bridges that are structurally correct. The bridges are not a copy of any specific bridge, but are typical of railroad bridges found all over the world.
Our kits use cardstock and balsa wood to replace the steel used in the prototype bridge. The cardstock is .011 thick, which is almost exactly 1 scale inch in HO. The primary purpose for the wood is to provide a surface to glue the lacing to, but also the bridge members made of both cardstock and wood are much stronger against the compressive loads the bridge will see when in use. The completed bridge is very light weight, but also very strong. We have been using a bridge made from kit K1000-HO for over ten years and it still looks like the day assembly was finished
If you cannot find what you are looking for, please contact us because we can do special designs. A typical modification could be to change the length of any of our bridges, or to change the height of a tower. We can also do completely unique designs. We reserve the right to produce and sell these special designs to our other customers.
We try to ship our products within 48 hours of receiving your order. At this time, we are only able to ship within the United States. Shipping and handling costs are included in the price of our products.

This bridge kit builds into a 200-foot long, through-type Pratt truss bridge. It is typical of many bridges built in the late 1930’s and throughout the 1940’s. Even so, it is still appropriate for modern-day use. The bridge features a curved top-cord which gives the bridge a graceful appearance. The finished model will be one you will be proud to display on your layout.
This bridge kit can be used to build either a single-track bridge or a double-track bridge. The side and top clearances for the trains conform to NMRA standards, so you can run autorack and double-stack trains without problems.
The kit is currently available in HO and N scales. To Top of Page
These bridge kits build into a deck type plate girder bridge. It does not follow any specific prototype bridge, but it is typical of many bridges that can be found all over North America and is appropriate for any period, but especially modern-day use. The finished model will be one you will be proud to display on your layout.
This bridge kit contains enough material to build two bridge spans. The spans can be arranged end to end to create a longer single-track bridge, or side by side to create a double-track bridge. We offer this kit in different scales and lengths. These kits are currently available in HO, TT and N scales. To Top of Page Steel Trestles are commonly found spanning fairly shallow, but wide, valleys. We make a line of trestle bents and towers that, when combined with our plate girder bridge kits, make a wide variety of steel trestle designs that will look great on your layout. The bents and towers are typical of many bridges built in the late 1800’s and throughout the 1940’s. Even so, they are still appropriate for modern-day use. Some of the kits are used to make single-track trestles and others are used to build double-track trestles. The track spacing for the double-track trestles conform to NMRA standards. The kits are currently available in HO, TT and N scales. To Top of Page | Truss Bridges | Plate Girder Bridges | Steel Trestles | | Home Page | Our Products | Sample Instructions |
