I want to build a bridge to cross a one-meter gap between two train platforms.

(...) You should look around Brickshelf.com, someone was working on a monorail system using Znap as the rail. Perhaps you could intergrate the track and the bridge's topmost strut into one Znap thing-bob. Aaron (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.znap)
