POST YOUR BRIDGES on Layouts

(1/4) > >>

CNJRR:
Post the bridges you have, on or off the layout.

I have a few I can post.
I pulled out this first, I don't really know the manufacturer or year.
Measures 26" Long
5 1/4" wide
& 5 1/2" to the top of the tower.
This one is naturally weathered. :)
Has two red lights/bulbs up top.
I like it, don't know about painting yet as it has a nice patina now, maybe add some rust and use it either as a train bridge or a vehicular bridge without painting it. 
Anyone recognize it?
This one needs a home somewhere, I took it down off a shelf.


 


EDIT,
IF THIS IS POSTED IN THE WRONG PLACE YOU CAN MOVE IT? RIGHT?

pjdog350:
What we need hear CNJRR is more pictures of your layout. It looks most interesting from what I can see in the background of your bridge picture.

CNJRR:
You got to tell me about the bridge first.  :)

My layout is in pieces all over the basement...........long story.
Little by little I am getting it together again.
I will eventually start a Layout thread.

Terry:
That's a Junoir Bridge. They were made in the early 1950s by a Junoir Acheivement group in a NJ town near Lionel with the advice of Lionel workers. That version also comes in green.

They made a few kinds of bridges with the most common being a trestle bridge like the weird one I posted at:

They also made a 2-track signal bridge.

A good use for bridges is as shelves. Two screws in the wall and it will hold a loco and tender.

CNJRR:
Yes, that is it, Junior Bridge Company of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. Not too far from the Lionel plant that was in Irvington, NJ.
Did some googling.

Shelfs on the wall? I didn't think of that.
