Train bridge
« on: August 24, 2009, 20:03:24 »
Ok I am starting a project that has been on the back burner and was moved up do to a purchase of a used  4314 Cargo Zone . I am working on using the metal trusses and plastic track for now .


 The trusses fit right to the track and that would do but just does not seem very realistic ( if i ever wanted that kid or hobo to be walking the bridge and "oh @%^&  here comes the train !" ) .

 I thought about using a system X wall double wide as the foundation so the truss would attach to the lower side and the track could lay on top then on the side i could use the system X railing .


 
if the bride needed to span a large river or gorge you could use a system x pillar in the middle .

Basically before i tear apart castles or put in a lengthy DS order I would like input or ideas you may have done to make this project.

This is difficult since I don't own to much SysX. I was thinking you could use thes part on the bottom, they would look like support beams:

I would not use the track as bottom,It would look kinda odd.

Looking good,
 The center support needs to be thicker, I think. I love those yellow railings (which set are they from?). Maybe you should add other support poles on each side of the bridge.

I could easily make the center a thick column . The Yellow railing is from an Airport but I just used it because i do not have red ones. I am hoping the red will look more like rusted metal
