1:35 Double Pipe bridge D=16mm

A double pipe bridge with a 16 mm diameter in 1:35 scale

The set 1:35 Double Pipe bridge D=16mm from RT-Diorama is a scenic accessory for a diorama, not a kit of a vehicle. It is overhead pipework on a supporting structure, this time in a double version. The 16 mm diameter from the name corresponds in 1:35 scale to roughly 56 cm of real pipe. The word Double in the name refers to the doubling against the basic version of the same diameter; the exact arrangement of the two runs is shown on the box.

What a double run adds

Two parallel tubes look more technically convincing than one. Real works rarely carry a single pipe - usually it is a bundle of runs for different media, and that is exactly the impression the double version creates at once. At the same time it creates a stronger horizontal that frames the scene better, and it offers more places for details: valves, hangers, markings, traces of corrosion or damage from a hit.

Tips for placing it in the scene

• Keep both runs exactly parallel; even a small deviation shows to the eye.
• Let the pipework discharge into a particular target rather than disappearing into nothing.
• Space the supports in a regular rhythm matching the span of the bridge.
• Check the clearance height for vehicles and the way through for figures under the bridge.

Who the set is for

For modelers who create a factory complex, a refinery or a depot in 1:35 scale and want the technical infrastructure to look like real working premises rather than one isolated tube.
