I am considering drawing basic bridge plans for the various kits I have built and Kit-bashed to help others plan ahead for their bridges. The drawings would be on both 8-1/2 x 11 and 11 x 17 paper. In order to do the project, I will need to receive permission from the manufacturing companies to reproduce their models as plans. I would think they would like the idea since it would help them promote and sell their models. One thing I have noticed is that there is a general lack of knowledge concerning the items beyond the 'Bridge Superstructure', the girders, beams, and bracing. Most don't understand bridge bearings, piers and abutments, as well as site grading around the bridge. Before I invest much time in this and go to the manufacturers, I would like to know if there is much intrest in this information. My intent is to reproduce the drawings and sell them for 5 cents a page for 8-1/2 x 11 and 10 cents a page for 11 x 17 + reproduction costs and shipping. I would have them reproduced by a professional company on heavy paper. Let me know what you think. - Ed
