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

That's pretty big... is the 5.15m measurement the span?  That is, is it
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 so) span, though it did use non-Lego strings for cables.

Also used non-lego weights in the base.

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:

11'10"). Should be complete by Christmas.
