eliminator Posted November 8, 2011 I know the scale is off on the Tower Bridge, but does anyone have one in their city layout? I think it should work pretty good as a pedestrian bridge..... I'm looking for layout ideas, especially with the modulars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medib Posted November 8, 2011 I dont know about that... it might be a nifty idea. I seen it the Tower Bridge used as a railroad bridge with slight modification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bootz Posted November 8, 2011 I could see the Tower Bridge as any sort of minifig-scale bridge. I'd like to combine two and have it span a small river as a two lane bridge for cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Guy Bri Posted November 8, 2011 I could see the Tower Bridge as any sort of minifig-scale bridge. I'd like to combine two and have it span a small river as a two lane bridge for cars. I've had that same thought floating around. Combining a couple TB's to make a minifig scale car bridge. If only they weren't so expensive... But a pedestrian bridge would be almost as nice IMO. I'd say go for it if you can. If you end up not liking it, you could alway resell it later and make your money back; maybe a few extra, as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I had the extra cash for TB. The Pet Shop just came in the mail yesterday and next on my list is the Grand Emporium. My town has a long way to go before I could even incorporate the TB into it. I could be mistaken, but I'm .pretty sure there was another topic on a TB MOD not too long ago.

eliminator Posted November 9, 2011 I think I'm going to give up on using the TB as an actual bridge for my layout. At this point, it's just too big. I think I'll use it as two government type buildings, or even combine the two to make tall clock tower. I'm not really into MOC-ing much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That too was my priority; modulars first. Now I have time to hold off on the PS but, I'd like to get the airport as my next big spend With holidays fast approaching, its going to be tough... This is how I've done it... [pics] Not bad, is it used as a ped. bridge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I have time to hold off on the PS but, I'd like to get the airport as my next big spend With holidays fast approaching, its going to be tough... I'm kicking myself now. My car dealership is built mostly with pieces from my classic Town airport. I preferred that one to the City one too. After the modulars, I may get a train, if I don't start doubling up on modulars.

eliminator Posted November 11, 2011 Great looking town Bachus. I didn't realize how big the Eiffel Tower was compared to the Tower Bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
