Most railways require a bridge at some point.
From simple spans crossing tiny streams to immense lofty viaducts, railway builders have tackled these obstacles with imagination and ingenuity
Although a basic range of designs have proved to be successful and can be seen all around the world, narrow gauge practice has often been a little more individual.
We aim to offer elements of full size practice and narrow gauge individuality.

MVL Bridges produce and supply a range of sturdy model bridges constructed from various small size aluminium sections. Although not based on any specific full size originals the bridges are intended for the narrow gauge garden railway in the UK. Models are offered in a range of standard lengths but bespoke sizes are frequently requested. We are continually developing new designs which will bring that sense of character and individuality to the miniature line.

Keith has taken the trouble to supply some wonderful photos of the bridges which he has expertly painted. Take a look for yourself
