Lionel Hell Gate Bridge in very good condition. Type I – 1928 to 1934. This is the largest of Lionel’s bridges, stretching 28 1/2″ long, 11″ wide, and standing 10 1/2 tall, designed to accept standard gauge trains. Styled along the lines of New York’s famed Hell Gate Bridge that spans the East River, with four simulated stone towers made of pressed steel. Like the real Hell Gate, which is based on the Dutch name (“Hellegat” meaning beautiful straight) given to the water below, Lionel’s bridge was a steel arch bridge and not a suspension bridge. Lionel chose to paint the arches green, the simulated stone towers are painted cream, and the base and door frames are painted orange. The trim on the bridge is brass.
