MAINLINE BRIDGES

This bridge was another first for us. The customer contacted us with his need for a curved, double track, o-gauge deck girder bridge, with catwalks. I  asked him to make me a template of the curve and mail it to me. When the bridge was finished we had created a beautiful rivited custom curved girder with a manual lift.

This is the next line to be installed at the Deadwood Central.

_Thank you to everyone who who stopped in to see us at the 2011 November SWGRS in Pomona, California. We had a lot of fun and met some really great people. Special thank you to Howard Karsh, David Gal, Dave Roesler and Hal Glidden for allowing us to show case their bridges.

This bridge is also the first of its kind. The 36" S-Gauge Through Truss belongs to a customer in Nevada who also had purchased 3 Flat Top Through Truss last year for his layout.

We love a challenge. A customer called us a few weeks ago and asked if we could build a series of bridges for him. These were all the first of their kind. He asked that each bridge would be made to fit code 250 track.

This is one of many bridges that are to be installed for a family in Huntsville, Alabama, Dave and Dianne Roesler. We are very excited about this whole project. In May Damian received an opportunity to fly out to Alabama and stay with this family. He was able to help plan and measure for all the bridges that will be built and installed. We will post pictures and blog as we complete each section.

This bridge is one for the record books. When completed this bridge will span 50ft long and tower a stunning 13ft. It is the largest project Mainline Bridges has ever taken on. Each tower will be fully laced with museum quality details. There is a walking path under the 102" deck truss spanning the two center towers. We will be adding pictures and information as we construct this project.

These are the newest designs of O-gauge bridges from Mainline Bridges. These bridges are all designed to fit an overhead system. These designs feature a Deck Girder, Round End Through Girder, and a Straight End Through Girder.

This customer ordered 3 bridges for a project he was working on. He asked if we could paint them 3 different colors. This Deck Girder is a Hunter Green. The Small Arch bridge is a Sliver and the Curved Top Through Truss is semi-gloss black. The detail that really makes these bridges special is that all 3 of them are widened to fit a curved track. He asked that each bridge was built straight and wide so the customer could curve the track on the bridge.

About a month ago customer contacted us and asked if we could build him a 50" Round End Through Girder for his layout. We took into consideration building two separate girders and welding them together but ultimately decided to build it as one solid girder. For this span the girder plates are 3.5 inches high instead of the usual 3 inches.
