Ratio N

Modular Covered Footbridge

With it's fine scale latticework and curved section roof, this typical footbridge will add interest and a sense of importance to any model station. The versatile kit design means that the stairs can be assembled to face in either direction or straight off the end of the bridge. Moulded in 3 colours to make painting optional, the tooling of the fine lattice work sets the standard for injection moulding in this scale. Additional kits can be used to create multiple spans, whilst larger, busier stations often had 2 stairways to each platform, leading off in both directions. Could also be used without the roof sections at a large terminus under an overall station canopy. Glue is required to complete this model. Span: 93mm

Ratio Scale Models was started in 1950 by Jack and Dev Webster, producing fine coach kits made from sheet plywood pressings in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire. They commenced manufacturing plastic kits in 1959 and the name was changed to Ratio Plastic Models. The factory was moved to Goring-on-Thames in 1961, and to Sturminster Newton in 1972. As the range continued to grow, they moved to larger premises in Buckfastleigh in 1986. Ratio was sold to PECO in 1996; production now takes place at a new factory in Buckfastleigh, along with the Wills and Parkside ranges.
