I am looking for a curved bridge for my N-scale layout. I cannot find
one on the Walthers or Atlas or any other web site. I am looking for a
truss bridge if possible to be used across a small river on my layout.
Does anyone know of a manufacture that makes a curved truss bridge or
any curved bridge?

You might want to ask that on the forum at Atlas http://forum.atlasrr.com/.
It is considerably busier with a large number of very experienced folks. I
m guessing that it may have to be a kit of some kind, most likely a craftsman
type kit. Good luck.

I registered on atlasrr.com, but when I tried to login it says there is
a problem. I tried the "forgot password" link and it wanted me to enter
my user name and e-mail address. Which I did. Then it said "Either the
UserName or the E-mail Address you entered does not exist in the
database." So I tried to reregister and received the msg "UserName
already in Use, Please Choose Another" and "E-mail address already in
Use, Please Choose Another". There is now way to contact support for
this web site that I can see. How can one msg say the username is not in
the database and another say it is already in use?

You might also want to try one of the Yahoo groups. I am a member of
the N Scale group and I get (at my option) all the posts to the group
on a daily basis through email. I can scan, make notes and delete.
If I need to see the post at a later time, I just go to the Yahoo
group page and all the posts are there to refer to.

That said, I am using another person's system, so I don't have the
Yahoo group for N scale readily at hand, but it is easily found.

Yeah the registration process is screwed up, always has been. I sent an email
to the moderator with your email address. LMK either way what happens.

A curved truss bridge would not work, engineering-wise. Now a wide
bridge with a curved track on it would work. A series of short
divergent girder bridges, that works too.

A trestle is an option, or a viaduct (you can get RTR curved viaducts).

Dont think so much of the 'groups', prefer Usenet as I don't have to give
them my personal details to sell.
