Hyper detailed brass bridge

all manner of mechanical apparatus...
That has to be the longest listing I have ever seen.
Note that they refuse responsibility if you stand on it :rolf:

Spotted this brass bridge on eBay;

For such a detailed job though there is one glaring fault, [style="background-color: #ff9900;"]the full size bridge would have been riveted or bolted, not held together with cheese head screws.... Maybe I'm just being picky....

[style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff;"]I don't think they've invented a miniature riveting gun yet. Can you imagine pounding all of those rivets in with a teeny-tiny rivet gun! Not to mention having to heat each rivet, then pick it up with a teeny tiny set of tongs

Now that is impressive!! but then they go and stick a bit of plastic track on it? sort of spoils it a bit for me I know it's just for the photo's but a bit of hand laid track wouldn't have gone amiss.........................
 
Wonder if they do it as a kit? Splendid therapeutic activity bolting that lot together!
 
It's quite a magnificent piece... but over £1300 for a bridge.....????
Wonder how many they'll sell?
