I once built a 10 foot long bridge out of K'nex. I just recently dismantled it and I would take photos if I still had it together. I actually had to break it into 4 pieces to take it downstairs! I also thought of using them for temporary bridges on a large layout. Just a thought...That I think is cool. I just wish I had more building plans...

BTW the bridge was built from a powered-launch roller coaster set. I still had alot of pieces left over.

jktrains - there's no denying your knowledge of things photographic, but it's knowledge that's readily available: it isn't uniquely yours. Your ego bade you to open an unsolicited "tutorial". Evidently that thread is of insufficient size to satisfy aforementioned ego, and you feel compelled to ram it down our throats at every opportunity, even to the point of posting your latest condescending and self-glorifying "I told you so".

 My turn to give YOU some advice: put a sock in your mouth and a cap on your ego.

  

 My sincere apologies to everyone else for the tone of this post.

Arn't we the condescending arrogant one. Heed your own advice.

I found the WPF on page two.

Decided it's time for a clearer look at this.

Interesting. It works in IE, but not Firefox. 

Same here, not on firefox. too bad for me, looks like outstanding detail work.
