On30
Scale Pontoon Float Bridge
designed and produced by James and Anna Cleveland
Although this Pontoon Float Bridge has no specific prototype, it can be used in many locations and on many types of waterways from ocean harbors to large rivers to large lakes. It would look at home on any era On30 train layout where your On30 railcars need to be transported across a waterway.
This bridge is designed to be used with the Frenchman River Model Works On30 2 Track Carfloat kit. This wooden float bridge kit comes equipped with 2 highly detailed hand winch kits for cinching the carfloat securely up to the bridge. These kits will add great detailing and action possibilities to any layout.
Additional hand winch kits are available from Frenchman River Model Works.

Black and White Instructions
Please note:
- This kit does not come with rail as many modelers have their preference in rail size. Your rail preference can be easily glued in place. There are rail chair details in the casting to simulate a realistic installment. This bridge is compatible with code 100 or code 83, or with some slight modification even smaller rail.
Approximate dimensions of the bridge, not including abutment and pontoon are:
9” long
4.85” wide not including the winch platforms
With the abutment and pontoon:
height from the “water” to the top of the rail (with code 100 rail) is approximately .830”
This builds into a beautifully detailed float bridge quickly and easily.
