Timber Howe Truss Bridge over the Kootenay River at Bonners Ferry, Idaho

As mentioned in the Home Page, is the construction of this unique bridge construction, a main aspect of my hobby.
I intend the entire bridge in the length of six modules to build each on 4.5 feets in scale 1:29. There are currently three bridge elements with the short-South Shore Trestle are completed. For a bridge element I need approximately 200 hours of construction time.
Two items I use in the summer months in the outdoor layout ( on the canyon). The three remaining bridge elements and Trestle are, or will be installed in the indoor layout as modules. (See page "INDOOR LAYOUT")

On the bridge there is an SD 40-2 with Coal Hoppers

Respect. . ! This site is under construction. It may take until the summer of 2010, until all sides are decorated ready. Please have a look again!
