N Scale - Collectable Brass Single Track Truss Bridge BLACK - 150' (Brass) PRE-ORDER 2ND RUN
- The Prototype Located on the Union Pacific mainline in Southern California, the prototype for this model dates back to 1938. Spanning a narrow section of the Mojave River that runs above ground, the massive 150-foot long bridge is an important link in Union Pacific's LA&SL line that links Los Angeles, Salt Lake, and points further east.
Afton Canyon, home of this truss bridge, is located between Los Angeles and Las Vegas on the LA&SL line as mentioned above. Near such railfan hot spots as Cajon Pass and Tehachapi Loop, Afton Canyon offers an unbelievable backdrop for Southern Californian rail fanning. If you're planning a rail fanning trip in Southern California, don't miss this spot (be advised that train traffic is sporadic at best, and exploring the canyon requires 4 wheel drive, a full tank of gas, water, and at least a full morning or afternoon).
- The Model Due to the demand of modelers all over the world, we are proud to announce this stunning bridge as our first completely assembled brass model. Painstakingly recreated by hand, this model will feature extremely accurate dimensions, rivet detail, and more! Each model takes between 25-30 hours to assemble!
Spanning a solid 150 scale feet, the scale model length is:
N Scale: 11.27”
This exquisite model is available in black and silver (#2000 is Silver/ #2001 is Black).
The photos below depict a Silver N Scale production model. As you can see, this model is an exact scale-replica of the prototype!
