Help building Train Bridge

[SuperChiefer84]

Does anyone know if instructions exist to make this yellow technic bridge seen in the lego ad from the early 1990's? It looks so cool I'd like to build one.

@SuperChiefer84 I don't think anyone's ever done a rendition of that... Maybe you can be the first...?

[dr_spock]

Study and use the picture.  Just like the good old days with the alt-build models on the LEGO boxes. 

 

[Grrr]

I'm not recognising that ad - would you mind posting the whole page?

After spending hours on Google Image, I find this AD on Ebay.
The release date is 1992.

I've done a first version, my version doesn't match the original version, it's difficult to see details.
I will to some improvement

That's a nice rendition, but it doesn't seem to support the track in any way-- did I miss something?

Yes it's true, I need to find the good ratio and angle between arms.
I need some works to improve the version1

Very good work! I am impressed because of the great number of macaroni bricks.

During the 1980s and early 1999s, I had (still have) many sets, but these bricks were always really rare.

It doesn't look like you've made the Brickshelf folder public yet?

Wow nice work! But it looks like you need to bring the bottom beams down in the center and spread them farther apart by a couple studs. This is also a connection point here. But your rendition looks great we are getting closer!

Hello,

I rebuilt the bridge and made 2 new version (v3 and v3.1)

For me the version 3.1 is going to be the final version and I'm waiting parts to build.
I look closer to the original image and measured ration between parts, but it's hard because the image is in poor quality.
I'm happy with the result :-)

Now the arms \  / are joined to the bridge, you are not viewing the technic pin, because it's behind the center arms | |

 

 

 

It's difficult to make in MlCAD , because of the geometry of all pieces, so don't look closer to the image, they is some bugs.

 

Here you can view the same bridge, but the arms  /  \  are with technic bricks

Spoiler

 

Some picture of the build version with some change, because of missing parts:
- The bridge is red
- The "legs" are shorter

 

Spoiler

At 17:14 in this epic video you can see that same bridge used in a Lego World Show model. Unfortunately it's in the background, but nevertheless, it's a pretty clear view:

Years ago I saw that bridge in the add and dreamed of making it. By the time I had enough pieces I lost the add without a copy. Its really nice to see someone else really recreating it. Here's my attempt:

Instructions probably never existed for that bridge, but it is a beauty. Watching that video led to another that has the same sequence in higher resolution (at around 9:00 I believe). You can see that the build included the the 1x16 light supports in yellow. It is amazing the stop motion animation Lego was doing back in the day.

 

[Ropefish]

that bridge would be wonderful to see at a show.

[JopieK]

Indeed! A lot of nostalgia in those videos too ;)

[Plegofan]

Here is my attempt to build the bridge of the first ad. 

freestorm thanks for images. Can you help to make the big bridge come true?

@Plegofan welcome to Eurobricks. I've moved your post to a more appropriate forum so hopefully someone that can help will see it.

[JopieK]

Well there was already a topic on it where you asked the same thing @Plegofan so why don't you try in Studio and then maybe if you ask help we can join in :)

Hier ist meine Brücke. Ich habe diese möglichst original nachgebaut.

 

Pr Thaum (edit and trad) : Here is my bridge ! I made it as closest as possible of the original version.
