Hi all,

I recently saw Brad Hamiltons picture of a huge train brige build with technic
beams. It really looks great!

I also build a bridge for my latest train moc's, now my question is:

What is a clever idea for a ramp to let the trains drive up to the bridge? Just
a nice bridge is a bit lonley?? E.g. building the yellow ramp like the idea
book 7777 offers it is a bit beams-killingm, even if you need to get quite
high, like Brad's bridge.

I could imagine that it will need a lot of space to set up such a ramp? Who has
got a nice idea for some ramps. A minimum pieces varation would be helpful.

Regards,

Holger  ...from Germany
