MVL Bridges are being supplied to an increasing number of garden railways throughout the UK.

On this page we intend to list these railways with photos of the bridges in situ.
We will also include links to their websites where they have them so you can see for yourself the wide range of railways that exist.

'I am absolutely delighted with the bridge! It arrived safely tonight and will be built into the new Whinlatter & Swinside Light Railway (the original suffered in our recent floods and has had to be rebuilt). I hope to make it the highlight of the entire line!
 
Can't wait to do business again,'

'Just a quick note to say that the bridges arrived safely today -pheww!
And they are just perfect - what a good job you have done!

I am absolutely thrilled with the quality and appearance of the bridges - they look fantastic and seem to be very sturdy - just the job. What's more they appear to fit the gaps!

I will keep you posted of developments and let you know how the bridge fixing mechanism goes...

In the meantime, many many thanks for making such fine bridges for the Granite Island Railway. They will be a real focal point to the railway and add that finishing touch!'

Pendorwic Railway

UNDERARCHED GIRDER BRIDGE 1000mm with parapet rails

" Twelve months or so ago I decided to build a garden railway with a slate quarry theme at my home in the West Midlands. The railway has some tight curves which are perfectly adequate for slate trains but not for passenger trains. I am now in the process of expanding the layout with some larger radius curves suitable for passenger carriages. This requires crossing a path which runs down the centre of my garden separating the existing layout from the site of the extension both of which are raised above the level of the path.
A girder bridge offered the perfect answer to crossing the path and the MVL Bridge looks superb now it is in position and blends really well with the surrounding scenery"
