Bob O'Neill's Type 1 Bridge

Bob writes:
Here is my attempted to build the type one bridge from the early teens; the one with the boy sitting on top. I placed a 1931 Hudson on it to show it's size. Over all it's just a little over 9ft. I used the parts from two 1920 #10 sets and use it for a portable antique train display that I set up at the Museum of Transport here in St. Louis.

It will carry a four track "O" gage main line or a double track standard main or a one track LGB main. I used it for a standard gage dog bone as the top layer of a nine layer display 32ft by 18ft.


Here is the original bridge from a Mysto manual.
