So here’s the question...has anyone built an unsupported truss-style bridge
that’s around a 128 stud unsupported span? I’m thinking if I sandwich the
deck (4x10 and 6x10 plates) between 1x8 bricks (below) and 1x16 Technic bricks
(above) and then use a standard truss structure with Technic bricks and beams,

I built one a couple of years ago that spans 128 studs, with two tracks. It’s
pretty minimal. I used double 1x16 technic bricks to support the deck, then
combinations of technic bricks for the trusses. The deck is just strips of 2x16
plates with the track on top. The nice part is that it breaks down flat for
easy transportation.
I hunted around and found a few photos from old shows.

| Stacy and I are designing a small layout for Brickworld this year and we want/need to have a bridge in the layout. We've been working to design the layout using banquet tables (so I don't have to bring my own tables), yet we still want an open space (...) (17 years ago, 22-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)
