Hi CN1 , no I don`t know of any model of Victoria bridge.
That`s a neat link thanks.
Are you gonna try it?

kinda. Space is the obvious problem. Next it's the "raising" portion of the bridge. Of course with lots of effort it's possible.
Mys space dedicated to the bridge is severly limited. I have about 24 inches to play with, wich is not much. I will try to represent it as best as I can.
I would be very interested to know if someone did it in full scale.

Doesn't it rotate? I haven't seen it for years, so I can't remember. Doesn't Buster Keaton do something funny on it in Railrodder ?
And didn't thay derail a train all over it this week?

It rises up to allow ships to go through the locks.
There was a derailment this week. A faulty turnout broke off and a few container cars derailed.
I never seen anything on this bridge in MR or other magazine. It's unfortunate since it's quite an engineering feat. The bridge is over 100 years old! 2 main lines, 2 roadway and 2 portions of the bridge that rises up. I remember passing throught it as a kid, but that's ions ago. The last time I saw it must have been 10-15 years ago!

A very interesting bridge CN1. I drove through Montreal last summer pulling a 24ft. trailer and with the amount of traffic, I didn't have time to look at anything but the road. It would be wonderful to build a model of it but as it is so huge, I could only build part of it. The limits of model railroading EH!
