- Part one details how to build a 1:20.3 scale wood truss bridge on an outdoor railroad.
We had always planned a detailed wood truss bridge near the Never Mine at the north end of our garden (outdoor elevated) railroad. The time has come! As it's way too hot to work outside, 101º F, we are working inside on the bridge for outside. Taking the structures out to check alignment and working inside with the AC cranked!
The bridge is mostly red cedar with some basswood. Everything is bolted together as well as glued. Critical joints are glued with Gorilla Ultimate Outdoor glue. As well as bolted!
Part one covers the building of the wood truss. Part two covers truss rods, track, guard rails, and stain-paint.

I was a rural mail carrier for years. A guy on my route built a 1:1 scale Howe Truss bridge on his property. Everyday I saw his progress on construction. He enclosed it and made it a covered bridge but from the inside you could see all the beautiful work. It became a place for his family get together.
@@garypearsall1589 rural carrier! Sweet. So was my brother. Farmington Utah. “Mounted” route.
I am always amazed about the relationship between you two. And how supportive your wife is. That is so awesome, sharing a great, versatile hobby. One of the reasons to watch this channel.
Thank you so much! 😊😊😊🚂🚂🚀🚀🚀
The color palette and contrasts look great! +1
Thanks!!!
09:00 I hope you've taken into consideration that the wood you're using for the truss bridge will need protection for the elements. Perhaps, a protective paint for wood of some kind would do the trick? Your design and style you've chosen for the truss bridge looks fabulous by the way. 👍
I hope your chase of 4014 ended well. 👍😊
Right now it’s just the wood oil. But after it’s finished I’m going to use Thompsons Water Seal. I don’t like the shiny finish. But that does diminish after time.
Looks great !!. Glue thought , you might try Weldwood waterproof wood glue next time. It works nicely and holds tight during winter.
Well Sir; you're such a great engineer and architect teacher. Thank you so much.
@@garyacker7388 hi. I’m missing so many comments. We are out chasing the Big Boy in Idaho. Tired. But OMG. What a beautiful place and train.
Its crazy to think how strong the cement ties are that hold down the train tracks in place in certain places of america , but that does make sense and i hope railroads continue to do that for future projects.
UP is switching out all ties to cement. 😊
This is one of your coolest builds. You have the gift.
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 thanks!!!!!
That truss bridge is looking great. Can't wait to see the finish you put on it. Thanks for sharing your garden railway with us.
GOD BLESS 🚂 💕 🚂 💕 🚂 💕
@@loispadgett6306 thanks!!! We ate out chasing a train! Bless you too!
I love truss bridges and yours is a knockout!! Adds a nice touch to your RR!!! I've been enjoying your railfanning with UP'S 4014!!! Love that engine!! Cheers!!
Thank you very much!
Love how your railroad is coming along! It's great to watch something positive and fantastic!
Thank you very much!
If you end up with another waterway, perhaps Knees Creek for a name! ;-)
Bee cool too! 😊😊
Nice classic bridge.
Thanks!
Looking good 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great vidio, look up the Wye river trussel bridge it just couple of miles from here, very interesting history.Thanks for the morning coffee...
Thanks! I’ll look. 😊
Yes you can never have too many clamps. For outdoor glue, get some Titebond 3 from HD which is waterproof and is as easy to use as white glue.
This is supposed to be the best outdoor glue. But it’s a bit of a pain to use. Don’t get it on your hands! It doesn’t wash off. And leaves a weird coating like violin rosin.
Kayren your a Crack up 😂
She is. As long as not when driving. Let’s not crack up then!! 😊
Is this truss bridge functional at all or is it merely ornamental?
A little pond under the bridge with a small waterfall into it would look nice. Not your caboose! 😅
Yup!!! I was playing with a small waterfall but such things are always a maintenance headache.
@@ToyManTelevision oh no, not a real one
Wye river trussel bridge Ont. Canada...
Interesting!! Canada? Saw one in Great Britain.
Bridge has been an interesting combination over the years and an inspiration for making my own .
