The Deck of our bridges are 24 gauge steel and the side struts are 18 gauge flat wire. (The flat wire is what you would expect, wire is milled flat top and bottom and the side stays round.) This way the edges are easier on the little hands and our hands too! The decks of the bridges are pre-punched that by turning the extra deck over two 18" decks can be joined into a 36" deck or longer (see the 2nd and 3rd photos on this page) the longest in the industry! For really long, think about the 54" or the 72" bridges or longer. They can also be bolted for two and three track bridges.
Our new G and Standard gauge bridges are designed for the G and Standard Gauge trains 6 inches wide and 9 inches of inside height. We offer these in painted, or even stainless steel for outside use!!!
The advantage of the paint is that the colors can be changed as desired. (Stainless is not to be painted and will develop a gray-pewter coat in the garden.) These bridges are sheared Stainless Steel on the base and top rails. A de-burring service is available for those who may ask for it. The service is done before the various pieces are bent or welded.
