Thanks, everyone, for showing me some of the bridges you've made. Here are some photos of what I finally came up with: (URL) uses nearly all the black and green Znap that I have.

Brian, Here's my znap bridge I did. It's pretty sturdy, albeit somewhat heavy as well due to the amount of plates I used on the base.. It's a double 6-wide train bridge. The trick that I did was using the 2x2 brick and half stud pieces combined with (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.znap)

(...) Great. Thanks. I will probably bring one of each track component for the session just because I want to have as much stuff as possible all in one place. Frank (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.trains)

I know that this isn't the best place to ask but, since its train related I figure it the best place. Anyone know where I could get my hands on (or know someone) that has damaged Cheap 9v train points? I know I can buy them but, I'd rather have some (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well, Brian, I can say one of my 60 inch long ZNAP bridge twisted and collapse at a train show, with the GFLTC (no pics). Two trains fell 30+ inches to the ground out side in the dirt! The best bet for a ZNAP bridge is to support the track on (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.znap)
