Baimor Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 This is my first attempt at a girder bridge. Built from plywood and wooden coffee stirrers I've built 2 sides. Just need to paint them now. Grey or black??? Any suggestions/advice welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Bridges have been almost any primary colour over the years, if you were trying to give an impression of an area you'd choose the colours of that area. But generally the majority of that type are grey . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baimor Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks Q. I'm not modelling any particular area or eara. My thoughts were with the grey but I've seen some done in black and even red although these seem to be on American railroads rather than on British railways.

roddy Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Metal bridges (not just girder) here, that used to be red are now all a dark green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baimor Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Lol! No roddy it's not on your avi mate. I was working up your neck of the woods a few years ago. Working at a munitions factory in Birtley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
