This was to have gone up a week ago but things happen. The important part

In this picture, is the roadbed just resting on the supports?

The roadbed rests on a platform and held in place using the 4x4 size turntable.
I considered using the newer Technic ones (found on the 8421 crane) but the cost
turned me away.

How much tension are the cables under? Could this Lego model stand without
the cables?

Honestly, I don’t know the tension in ft-lbs but if you “pluck” the line, it’s
not a guitar in tune. When I was setting it up, I decided to push my bricks and
see how much sag there would be w/out any support beneath and it was a lot but
it did not break. When both parts were connected in the middle the sag wasn’t
as bad but a “dip” was still quite visible. The original plan called for more
lines but when I attached the ends and middle using one line (on each side), the
sag was fixed and I decided to call it quits. Later versions will have more
lines.
Adr.
