Building Curved Bridges

The short bridges can be used in a fairly small radius turn. The drawing shows a 130 scale foot radius turn in standard gauge. The bridge must be widened to allow for the additional inside clearance.

You can use curved stringers instead of the straight ones shown. Remember, you must cut longer floor beams to build the wider bridge.

To see more detail, zoom in on the Drawing.
