I already have a bridge, single track, out of black technic and grey plates.
If you want to make another, we could have a different one Saturday from
Sunday. It has to span 30 inches, supported only by the ends. (I hope to
make a special table/legs for the river, but haven't gotten around to it,
once I have one, then the bridge will be allowed central supports.) One
idea that I have seen, but haven't had time to pursue, is an operating
cantilever bridge. A few people have built some successfully in the past,
and I though it would be another way to incorporate automation into the
display.
