Bailey bridges for sale (1 Viewer)

[ucla1967]

I am posting this as a favor (i.e., I am not personally selling them nor being compensated). Gerry Rubin, who is a member of a toy soldier club I founded five or six years ago, is a high-quality diorama maker. He made some very attractive Bailey Bridges on commission for a veterans group and has six left over that he would like to sell. They are $215 each plus shipping. They are made of acryllic and styrene. The actual bridge is 17 x 10.25 x 2.25 inches (long-wide-high). The two double ramps are 8 x 5.5 inches while the single ramps are 4 x 5.5 inches. So the entire bridge requires 33 inches to display. You can contact him directly at gerry@sitelines.us if you are interested or would like better photos since I had to reduced his 1.6 MB images down to less than 97 KB for the Forum.

Just to be clear: The Bailey Bridge is $215. That price does not include the terrain feature nor the figures/vehicles in the photos. If it did, that would be the steal of the century, wouldn't it.

There are still several Bailey Bridges available.

Is the Bailey Bridge assembled from a kit? Looks exactly like the Bronco Model 1/35 scale bridge I purchased at E-bay for $34 each (unassembled). Looking at the assembly plan, the dimensions are exactly as stated in this forum.

Thanks

Who are you asking? I have no idea---I posted this as a favor and have not seen the bridges in person. I suggest you contact Gerry directly at gerry@sitelines.us and ask him.

I've got the bridge & it already made & it double the size of the Bronco one as I had one as well

Thank you uksubs. Apparently a Forum member (you?) mentioned to Gerry the earlier post questioning whether this was from a Bronco kit. I had not contacted Gerry since before I had posted the original for sale offer and, in fact, had not even told him that I was going to post it on the Forum. In any case, Gerry emailed me regarding whether it was from a Bronco kit and said that "It is nothing of the sort..." and "I assure you..."

All this makes me wonder what the purpose of the post questioning the origin of the Baily Bridge was in the first place. It seemed to me a specious argument that just because the bridge dimensions were the same and that the they looked the same that Gerry's bridge and the Bronco kit were, in fact, one in the same. I would have thought that if they were both made to a specific scale (i.e., 1/30, 1/32, or 1/35) they would have the same dimensions and that a Bailey Bridge would look the same, if done correctly, no matter its origins.

The last model kits I ever put together were plastic F-86 Sabre jets and MIG-15s from Revell more that 50 years ago. Gerry's Bailey Bridge is made of styreen and acyrlic; I assume that is what the Bronco kit is made of, too, or else that important fact was some how overlooked.

This bridge is a Limited Production Exclusive to The Old Toy Soldier company

specs:

The bridge itself is 2.25” tall x 17” long x 10.25” (approx.) wide from outside edge of walkway to outside edge of walkway...

Each bridge set will include qty.2 double and qty.2 single ramps...

Single ramps are 4” long x 5.5” wide

Double ramps are 8” long x 5.5” wide

so – if one displays the bridge with qty.2 double wide ramps – they need 33”

or you can just have the bridge at 17” by itself...

It is made out of acryllic and styrene...

Gerry does pro bono work for military and veterans groups. He made two Bailey Bridges for the Royal Canadian Engineers Museum and the US Army Engineers Museum. To help cover his costs, he made the other Bailey Bridges to sell both through the Old Toy Soldier Home and here. Two have been sold so far.

Gerry, these bridges are masterful looking to say the least. I'm just trying to figure out how to fit one into my dio plans before they sell out.
Cheers !
