222581 Deck STL Arch Bridge N Scale Building Kit, 16"

This product is able to build either a single track bridge or a double track bridge. Parts for both are included, although if you're making a double track bridge you will also need to order Faller 222540 (which is a set of extra bridge decks). The instructions in the kit aren't the best, but thankfully it is very straightforward. Things slot together quite well, although sometimes they can be a little fiddly to get square. Note that in the pictures I have not glued down the bridge decks yet. They have a little join right underneath the railings where they slot into the bridge frame. I'm leaving them loose until I put track in, hence why in some of the pictures they seem to be floating a little. I did have to remove some flashing from the kit using a hobby knife. Otherwise, the molded plastic is alright; it's not fantastic but it's also not awful. It's about average for an injection molded kit. The bridge itself is 40 cm long. It's made up of a primary arch (20cm long) and 2 half-arches (10cm long each). You can opt to just build the primary arch if needed, since each of the bridge decks are the same length as the arches. They join together quite well. Although the bridge deck slots together without glue, you will need to glue the bridge frame together. Clearance under the bridge without the added pillars is about 57mm. Without pillars it is about 70mm to the track, and 76mm to the top of the bridge railing. The bridge is about 64mm wide (almost exactly 2.5 inches). It's about 35mm from the centerline of one track to the centerline of the next track. 2 sets of pillars are provided. The smaller set of pillars is about 6mm high; the taller pillars are about 10mm high. In the double-track setup, you need to cut off the end of 2 sets of pillars and join them together; there's a place to cut the plastic to allow you to do this. However, this cut wasn't clean for me, so I had to do some sanding to clean it up well enough to join them together. Even then, there is a visible crease where the pillars meet. With the smaller set of pillars, you can raise the track to be about 76mm from the ground, or almost exactly 3 inches. This is a little taller than I expected, and I wasn't able to find that info online. Overall, this is a fine bridge kit that works exactly as expected.

Very simple to build. Took very little time. Everything fits together nicely. Track actually slides between some followers so it is straight and elevated perfectly on your layout. I chose to do the double bridge that required a different secondary kit. I will be using Faller again in the future. Looks wonderful when finished.

This was a pretty easy to put together kit, however you need to make sure the sides line up before the glue is set... also, this bridge allow you to build a double track version, but does not include 2 of the top sections that hold the track... you would have to buy that separately and not sure how to get it... otherwise I think it looks great and with different size piers that are stackable you can find a height that will most likely work for you

This bridge is amazing. Very well done and is stunning put together with some calk weathering to really bring out the details. I bought two kits to do a longer span, and it looks fantastic together. Quick notes that are Not mentioned in the listing. 1) You can expand this to a double track system. The wider spans are included in the kit. (Note... you will need to buy two kits for the decking, or, you can adapt another double deck and use the arch supports.) 2) Adding more than one makes it even more amazing. 15.5 inch length ea. 31" with two kits. 3) There are plenty of stackable peering included that will let you adjust then height to any level. over unlevel area, you can raise and lower in 1/4" steps to meet any layout topography.

Can't beat Faller quality! Best features are the ability to change the pier heights by using different supplied pieces, and the ability to convert the bridge to double tracks.(also with supplied pieces)

Enjoying my product

What I hoped for

Leuk om te maken

Einfache Bauweise, past super in meine Anlage

Faller 'sempre una garanzia per chi vuole costruire un plastico ferroviario

Traía un puente la maquea Staüfen, pero como he ampliado de 8 desvíos a 18 desvíos he puesto otro puente igual paralelo al que traía. Es muy bonito y va muy bien

Solide mais difficile à coller car petits morceaux, colle glue obligatoire.
