Murdoch17 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago A little less than a month or so ago, my brother designed me a 6-track long functional (I.E. weight bearing) single-track train bridge. This model was designed and built by him in less than a day after I expressed a need for another small-size bridge. I then added railings and recreated it digitally just in case I had any issues with it or wanted to modify it. This MOC is designed to be slung between two tables, and worked beautifully as a single track bridge. More recently, I decided to add a second track and as such two more sets of latitudinal supports were placed underneath to make it even stronger now that the load it has to carry has doubled. The longitudinal supports were also lengthened to support the larger bridge deck and the second track. This thing is built using many layers of overlapping plates and bricks and it is STRONG. Underneath, where all the structure's strength is. The bridge on my layout. It is SOLID, with only slight bending at the extreme ends due to the construction method used. Thanks again to my brother for designing such a beautiful bridge! Thoughts? Quote
