I was thinking of starting a bridge but I really have no clue where to start

Thanks all

(I've cross-posted to .trains. Bridges are important to that group as well.)

I'd love to sit down and create a full-blown "Guide to Lego Bridges", but in
the meantime, I hope these links will do:

Reinhard "Ben" Beneke's Bridge Constructions:

I know my list isn't complete, so if I've left anyone out, please reply with
a link. Thanks.
