wow some nice bridges.

Would be nice for nscale i can think of various dioramas to do with these and the layout i planned would have great use for this one below in particular.

Nice looking, but dang that's expensive!

They're imported into Japan - I wonder where they're made?

I think they're made in Germany, and you can have them also for N gauge: http://www.hack-bruecken.eu/index1.html

I'll be ordering some of these for my planned layout - they are really nice!

well the other shoe dropped, the N scale ones went up for reserve yesterday.

look nice and a bit better priced than the HO scale. i could see investing in some of these for a well placed bridge as etched metal will really pop compared to plastic for a frame bridge!

hs is 30% more than the hack site, but the shipping from germany would more than make up for that difference! funny to get something cheaper from germany by importing it thru a hobby shop in japan!

I dunno about that - I reckon $120AUD for a metal bridge that's 60cm long, 20cm high, 5.5cm wide is good value.

yeah i thought that as well, but i could see if i really make an up front bridge scene it might be worth doing it right and getting something more refined than the standard plastic tomix or kato truss bridges!

cheers

I have a couple of these, I ordered them through DM-Toys out of Germany.  I can attest that the quality is excellent!

He also appears to have plenty in stock:

Here's a photo of one of them on my layout (just the truss section, the other parts are standard Vollmer plastic sections):

Do you model Dutch and Japanese both?  If so, I do as well.
