GME: GNOME MINIATURE ENGINEERING: Gnome on show in 2013

Custom and standard bridges for G scale, O scale, and larger scale model railways

__________________________________________________________________________________
MODEL RAILWAY BRIDGES: Gnome Miniature Engineering structures are hand built from laser cut, brake formed parts, and assembled by traditional solid riveting. They capture the proportions of full size bridges, but are multi-scale working structures for small railways rather than exact scale models. Custom bridges can be built to your own requirements at a reasonable cost where standard parts can be used.

Our standard bridges are built for year round operation outdoors, so corrosion resistant materials are used throughout. They are ready to use, painted or unpainted, except for the construction of the bridge piers and installation of the track by the customer. They can be used with track from 16.5mm gauge for 0n30 to 63.5mm for Gauge 3.

G SCALE BRIDGES: plate girder bridges and underslung trusses for G and larger scales.

O and S SCALE BRIDGES: plate girders, through and underslung trusses, bascule bridges.

EDUCATIONAL MODEL TRUSSES: All truss bridges are available as educational models to demonstrate the principles and properties of pin jointed structures. These will normally be supplied without paint finish or decks. Material and section data are available.

The catalogue number (TR32 etc) indicates the type and length of the bridge deck in inches. For prices, availability, installation drawings and enquiries about custom designs,

Gnome on show in 2013

We've had to cancel our display at the 2013 Narrow Gauge Madness show in Schomberg, Ontario, on 13th April, but it's a great show; one of the best - go there if you can!

Also had to cancel our display for members and friends of the Platelayers Society at the Symposium in Brampton, Ontario, on 27th April.

Thanks to Garden Rail (Issue 199) and Garden Railways (August 2011) for some friendly and encouraging coverage!
