Bridge Lore for Model Railroaders (no, not the card game).

 

Bob Hayden, ed. Model Railroad Bridges and Trestles. (1992) Out of print. A compilation of articles published in Model Railroader magazine from 1962 to 1991. We get everything from general information about types of bridges and their uses, to detailed descriptions of how to build model bridges from scratch.
     Model railroaders love bridges, they make a wonderful setting for any train in any scale. I’ve seen many, many photos of model railroads, and too many of the bridges concocted by their builders are impossible. This book, if you can find it, will help you build a plausible bridge. Or else, get the Model Railroader’s Guide to Bridges and Trestles
