You might try to get a hold of Eagle Wings Iron Craft.  It is a rather substantial bridge.

That bridge is great!!!

Tom; I just love that bridge and the colour really makes it. I have seen Eagle Wings stuff before, nearly bought one once.

Bob:

What part of the world do you live?  I know your "profile page" says "-0 GMT", but if you live anywhere near San Diego or are planning to visit San Diego area I could tell you of a place where you can pick you one that is "ready to run".

Bob.

at 70 my brain isn't as good as it once was but i have seen some beauts for sale in USA. You can buy one or failing that, get a good look at one and copy it.

I needed a bridge a few years ago and copied the Goodwill Bridge in Brisbane (our state capital), it only a pedestrian bridge in real life but worked terrific as a rail bridge for me. Look it up on google if you like.

it was so good i have siince built a second one. It is a single span arch bridge about 1.4 m long and it comes off a 5 m long concrete 17 span viaduct. I can supply photos if you like.

Can anyone tell me where I can find plans on building a model suspension bridge? Any advice on material to use would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks

Bob
