Response to our All-Brass, 150’ Truss Bridge project has been great. This project was a direct result of many folks (including numerous members of Trainboard) requesting a high-quality, US prototype truss bridge. Fast forward about two years from the initial requests, and I present you with production photos of our upcoming, completely assembled and painted, truss bridge. These bridges are in production currently, but at 25-30 hours of work on each, we expect them sometime before the end of the year (most likely December). Keep those ideas coming, and we’ll keep listening!
He he he! Now I can send a reply to Overland's e-mail and say, "I told you so!"\ Crystal Ball Time: The next "big thing" will be brass detail kits for plastic structure models. For example, the up-coming Ogle sand tower. Nice, but I'd pay the same price again for a brass detail kit that did something about those plastic railings...
Thanks for the kind words guys! The photos are nice, but seeing the model in person REALLY does it justice. Retail Prices are: N Scale - #2000 Silver - $225.00 N Scale - #2001 Black - $225.00 HO Scale - #5000 Silver - $325.00 HO Scale - #5001 Black - $325.00 We hope to have an HO Scale test sample within a few weeks time.
An absolutely astounding bridge. I could never afford it, but it is obviously well worth the price. Wow.
I saw that bad boy at the WPM meet yesterday, very, very nice:tb-cool: The level of detail is amazing. Now to start begging, err, umm, proposing a purchase to the wife:tb-wink:
Cool bridge. If BLMA made a engine that ANYONE never made, not brass, that ran like a Kato and pulled, with all the detail that BLMA has to offer. I think that would be a hit. All that means is less work for me:tb-biggrin:
