Train Bridge

[Asper]

Hello,

One of the first things I built as an AFOL was a bridge made of blue old LEGO track. I know that the idea to use the blue LEGO track is not new - I think I have seen this in some of the old LEGO idea books.

Now it took some years to "finish" it and make this small diorama to present the bridge. At the end of the 19th centuries they built these beautiful portals for train bridges - I like them very much - so I wanted them on my bridge, too.

(larger images can be found in the flickr album)

Hope you like it,

Steffen

This is just great, love all the small details that give a romantic feel to it.

Creative use of the old blue track to create the arch.

The bridge is A-FREAKIN-MASING!

That is one detailed diorama!

Do tell about the Adler too!

Beautiful! Like the use of the 1x1 with spike for a shield, did a double take on that one. Overall just really detailed.

This is just great, love all the small details that give a romantic feel to it.

I agree, I can feel those canoes sailing with serenity ...lovely work!

That is fantastic, the bridge, the train, the presentation, all of it.

Very, very nice. Do you have more pictures of the train that is on the bridge?

[Feuer Zug]

Very nice all around. The weight test is cool as well. Tells me the bridge will hold a loaded train as it passes through the idyllic scenery. Even the ancient steamer fits.

Very, very nice. Do you have more pictures of the train that is on the bridge?

Thank you. The train is an old MOC from 2010. You can find more on flickr or on brickshelf (on brickshelf there is even kind of an instruction)

I love the mixture of a classical "London Bridge" portal combined with the slightly more modern suspension bridge. Beautiful details you've added to liven up the scene, especially those canoes. The trees also look great. Overall, amazing build.

That's a great bridge. fantastic work. Nice concept to use a classic style with those gates at each end.

And you put a lot a nice details there as well.

How have you made the grass at the end of the bridge slope like that

Thank you all for your kind feedback!

wonderful bridge, as other have said there are so many amazing little details that just make things feel that much more alive. there is a very similar bridge near me and this has all of the charm that the real bridge near me has always had. I am curious though, is there a plan to incorporate this bridge into a larger layout? I ask because I can only imagine the wonder that would be contained in that layout of the bridge were a small part of it.
