Model of Bridge on the River Kwai
Most of us will at some time have watched the movie “Bridge on the River Kwai.”
Jim is planning to recreate the bridge in his model railroad and asks:
“I remember when the movie Bridge on the River Kwai was released. There was a copy of the model of the bridge on the river kawi in HO scale. I would like to incorporate a copy of this bridge in either HO or N scale. Can anyone offer some suggestions?”
The whistling tune from the movie will bring back memories for many. The words to the original song were adapted by the British POW’s but I can’t publish them here as they are somewhat rude.

Find pictures of the real thing, it is still standing and use that to model it to fit your river. the movie was a liberal dramatization of the true but a good movie anyhow
In one Magnum PI Show Higgins has a model of the bridge that he built
The whistling tune in the movie is called “The Colonel Bogey March”
Hi I have a large model of the bridge which measures approx. 130cm in length all hand built and if you would like a pic let me know. Ray
