Howe Thru-Truss Covered Bridge
S Scale Model shown above. Original B&W photo above was published in the Spring 1992
Blue Ridge Stemwinder and is used with permission
from John R Waite.
It is a C.M. Clegg photo from the Mallory Hope Ferrell Collection.
According to the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad Historical Society publication, The Blue Ridge Stemwinder, the Hampton, TN covered thru-truss bridge was built in 1881 as on open bridge, then rebuilt and covered around 1892. The 118' bridge survived the abandonment of the line in 1950, but a few years later was torn down. Photos of the prototype can be seen in the Spring 1992 edition of the Stemwinder.
The model consists of laser-cut wood parts that build into a realistic, and very strong, bridge. The roof is removable
for maintenance. Includes two stone walls for the abutments; rail and spikes are not included.
