Nolen and Tom,
In 2005 I spent 5 hours in Oregon, documenting the area for a future Free-mo
module. I came to the conclusion for a standin bridge that the Walthers Single
Track Warren Truss bridge, was the best suitable standin for the bridges at
this location. I have already purchased my bridges, and will start work on the
bridge module next year.
The CV bridge while a beautiful model, looks to be a little daintier and
wouldn't support the loads that are running today.
However, if one wants to model the bridges, it'll require styrene and Archer
Rivets to do it correctly.

Tom,
The Central Valley bridge is available in 3 different style configurations of a
Pratt truss that is about 20" in length. Walthers makes a Warren truss that is
approximately the same length. I've never seen a Cooper rating for either
model, but suspect that the Walthers Warren truss has a heavier rating.
Without good pictures it is a little hard to tell what the prototype is.

Anyone have any suggestions as to the best HO scale stand-in for the truss
bridges over the Rock River in Oregon, IL?
