Con-Cor - 662 - Structure, Bridge, Box Girder - Bridges and Piers

Specific Item Information: Size: 6 5/8" long

Original Price quoted from "The World of N and Z Scale - 1990", but I had a pair of these from the early 1970s. One went to a friends layout in Mapleton MN, and the other is finally going on my own layout, along with a recently purchased twin.
I prefer this kit in the 'simple' bridge category as it is longer than the usual 5" sectional track replacement, You can see my application in the second photo, which I will update once the module is built.

Road Name History: Bridges and Piers are an important component of transportation.

A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, usually something that can be detrimental to cross otherwise. There are many different designs that each serve a particular purpose and apply to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it.

Brand/Importer Information: Con-Cor has been in business since 1962. Many things have changed over time as originally they were a complete manufacturing operation in the USA and at one time had upwards of 45 employees. They not only designed the models,but they also built their own molds, did injection molding, painting, printing and packaging on their models.

Currently, most of their manufacturing has been moved overseas and now they import 90% of their products as totally finished goods, or in finished components. They only do some incidental manufacturing today within the USA.

Important Note: The Con-Cor product numbering can be very confusing. Please see here in the article how to properly enter Con-Cor stock numbers in the TroveStar database.
