She is another super detailed HO bridge that CVM is proud to have in their family of bridges.

It is approximately 4 3\/8 inches high and 2 7\/8 inches wide. From rail-head to bottom of shoe is approximately 15\/16 inches. The parts are injection molded of an impact grade of styrene plastic that is the same as used in the popular automobile and military hobby kits. Cementing and painting requires the same materials and techniques in common use in the construction of those kits and the most popular model railroad kits.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eThe bridge kit components are ideal for kit bashing and the scratch building of other bridges and steel structures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eThere is no prototype bridge that the kit was copied from. It is a very common and typical design that is used in North America and even other parts of the world. Some are still in use and many subtle variations are possible. Modifications in bracing, rail, guard-rails, walkways and railings, telegraph arms attached, and different portals are common. They are most often painted black, but there are examples of silver, gray, red oxide and green.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003ePhoto may show completed kit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eYou are purchasing a unbuilt new in package kit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Central Valley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51813704270110,"sku":"CVM1905","price":44.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/8069\/9166\/files\/T2eC16NykE9s7tvVlOBReHFcuWPQ60_57__34659.1408236613.1280.1280.jpg?v=1777912690","url":"https:\/\/mountain-subdivision-hobbies-2.myshopify.com\/products\/central-valley-1905-ho-150-truss-bridge-kit-punchplate-girders","provider":"Mountain Subdivision Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
