The first question is what kind of bridge do you want to build? What will it cross; a small stream or a large valley? What do you want to build it from, wood, plastic, foam? Finally, what do you want it to look like? A spindly, rickety trestle, a strong steel bridge with ornate superstructure or a rock solid stone & concrete viaduct? You have options...

I don't know if this site would interest you, but I found it useful to learn of the different bridge types. Perhaps you will too.

Hi, I'm new to the Forum. I'm just getting starting on a layout and want to have a bridge. Your bridge sounds kinda cool Jeffrey, could you post some pictures of it so I can have a few ideas as I get started. How did you make a wood bridge look like metal?
