    Hi Folks! Ben(ny) Efde and Marco (from Leeuwarden/NL) have done a new record of a (100% pure) Lego®-train bridge which they have presented at their train show in Leeuwarden last weekend.

     (...) measured from inside the footings? Also, what are the black "cables" made from- Technic parts? Lego strings? I didn't see any pics close enough to tell. In any case, I'll pass this along to Wayne Hussey... he built a bridge with an 18 foot (or (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains)

Damn, I can't get to Brickshelf - I'll have to check the pics later 8?( But for a totally 100% pure Lego bridge, just check here: (URL) 8?) Span is 3.6m (about 11'10"). Should be complete by (...)

          Re: Have you seen these pictures? Bridge of 5.15 m length.... —Reinhard "Ben" Beneke
       (...) I watched the growing bridge since some weeks: of course such a design is by far more impressing! Wow! I think you should try to find a fitting theme in the www.creativity-contest.net for that masterpiece of technic beam use. (...) I do agree (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains)

       (...) I was thinking about it, first off in the Town "The Reconstruction" section, but it's not really a reconstruction. Maybe Model Team "Timeless Elegance" section?

     (...) in (...) Hmmm. Difficult to tell, but at first glance it doesn't look like 5m between the footings - they may have included the approaches as well. But it's still pretty impressive. (...)

     (...) No, I have been told the 5 meters are from foundation to foundation of the main bow. I think the bridge is so far in the background, that it appears smaller as it in fact is. (...) Right, same as my bridge: classic technic beams.... (...) kg (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains)

         Re: Have you seen these pictures? Bridge of 5.15 m length.... —Reinhard "Ben" Beneke
     (...) You are right: there are "only" 19 full sections on the bridge, but of course there are two times 50% of a section too (easily to see on the left and since the bridge is symmetric it has to be on the right too).

I'm not actually sure where the span of various bridges is measured, but I thought in such a bridge it would be the distance between nearest extremities of the footings. (...)
