The first GME bridge to be sold (a PL24) was sold by Winona Garden Railway of Guelph, Ontario, in November 2009, and since then they have travelled around the world, mostly to the USA, but also to Türkiye, the Czech Republic, the UK, Anguilla, and Tasmania. Numbers have been small, but they have found a niche with many people who like hand built structures with real rivets. Some have been specials designed to the customer's requirements, and many others have been modified standard designs. In fact, shipping a standard bridge has been a rare event.
After fourteen years and hundreds of thousands of rivets, a few complete bridges - all specials in various ways - are still available. At the moment there are:
- One 0/S scale 24" operating bascule bridge
- One PL24 medium width plate girder bridge
- One TR 42 deck truss with timber deck, 45 mm gauge track, and handrails.
We are still pleased to answer general bridge questions and will supply outline drawings of the GME bridges for people who may find them helpful with their own designs.

Hi there. I was researching "The Footbridge" that crosses the Grand River off the West River Raod and google maps indicates that you live in Riverside School. sorry to bother you but I once lived there, before the flood of 1974.
