..has anyone built an unsupported truss-style bridge

We have a new generation 192 stud long bridge in the most recent layout
that’s a combination under and over whose longest Technic brick is 8 studs.
For some reason, we didn’t post any views of them on scltc.org. I can send

Ted,
Once again, you come through in spades! You always seem to have the answers I’m
looking for. Do you have a Brickshelf folder or image gallery on the web where
I can find a bunch of close-up pictures of your truss bridges? I want to get a
better idea of how you built the joints. Also, pictures of that new bridge
would be sweet. :-)
Thanks!
-Dave
