Ed, The complete bridge is on a straight track. There are curves to the approaches.Are curves allowed on the bridge? Currently, the section of track where the bridge is sits on a removable 1 x 4 x 24". Both ends are joined with rail joiners and are not soldered, nor is there any foam or cork roadbed under the track on the board. I don't really have any excess room at either end. However, since I am using the open grid on L-girder support system, I could stretch the bridge to about 30" with curves. Or, with the false bridge concept, I can shorten the actual bridge and get a better approach. With the visibility of the bridge, I think the through truss arrangement would look nice. We would probably have to go with the 50 ft.-72 ft.-50 ft. to keep it on straight track. Hope your golf game is better than mine. Jim jmartin@jknet.com
