Hello.
Does anyone know model bridges compatible with the following curved tracks?
- Peco ST-12, R1 228mm
- Peco ST-15, R2 263.5mm
To clarify, I'm looking for a model that would be available for the two radii listed.
Thanks by advance for your help.
Bye.

The only curved bridge I've used is the Faller Landwasser viaduct which is 193 mm radius. Faller do some 225 mm radius segments (222543) but not a complete bridge, as far as I can see.

I expect somebody knows, but they may have been at work this afternoon. It's not unusual for people to do this.

as the Ratio viaduct comes in sections, you could build it with each section joined at an angle and fill in the gaps at the back with more plasticard stonework.

Hi,

Curved bridges are fairly unusual on the prototype. Railways tended to be built straight and flat!

One option would be to use a card model of a straight bridge, from Metcalfe or Scalescenes et al,  and bash it to make a curved bridge.

I did look around and came to the same conclusion as Jim, ie. the readily available Faller stuff doesn't match Peco radii.

Probably something best built yourself from scratch.

Yes, I think a scratch build is probably the only option. As already noted, curved bridges on the prototype are fairly rare, and where they do exist, it's a gentle curve. (Landwassser excepted)
