Copyright © 2002-2010, Crawley Model Railway Society [Apr 10] Made with Xara Web Designer Made with Xara Web Designer ‘Three Bridges’ 2mm:1ft Scale N Gauge Click image to view track plan For more pictures, visit  Three Bridges is a freelance USA based N gauge layout. Only 7'-6" long by 1'-9" wide it has storage sidings behind a low backscene and a single track main line. The viewing side has a passing siding with a depot, a branch line and a mine. The scenery is an experiment in lightweight rock castings from latex moulds taken from real stone. At one end of the layout are the eponymous three bridges, two timber trestles over a river and a girder bridge, rail over rail. Any connection with the name of a real station on the London to Brighton main line is purely intentional; a little confusion adds to the fun! The two baseboards are made from lightweight plywood. Visible trackwork is Peco code 55, but the storage sidings and points are code 80 and the end curves are 9" radius Set-Track. Points are operated by wire in tube and slide switches that also set the frog polarity. Control is by Gaugemaster through 5 section switches, so realistic train movements are possible with two trains running at the same time under separate control. Locomotives and stock are all from the States. Until I can muster enough stock from one area to give a geographical location, anything goes, (that goes). New York Central and Pennsylvania are winning. Buildings are Walthers kits. The mine has been taken over by the Champion mining corporation but the roof still bears the original family name, "Ware's Mine". All scenic materials are from Set Scenes.
