Hi all,

Here's my inital attempt at a bridge - hope you enjoy it!

Oh, MAN that's nice! :)

This is something I think every layout should have. I can't believe you got
that to look so smooth! Awesome work!

Yeah, I was pretty pleased with it! Seeing I first designed it over 20 years
ago, and hadn't actually built it before to check the design!

But it really needs some beams under the tracks to stiffen the deck a bit -
with a heavy train, the tracks would sag quite a bit.

BTW, I forgot to put on the page, the main span is 170cm, less than half the
length of my next bridge creation!

Regards

ROSCO
