Hi Wally
They will help a lot. I do work on them when I get back from voting.
Cheers
Garry

Sorry Wally, haven't had a chance to take the buckles out of the rails yet. Have some house chores to catch up on. Cheers all Garry _________________ All my projects are GPLv2 License. Soot Happens.

Hi Wally, I think the girders might be a few pixels out of position. I need to move them SE a few pixels. When I lined the templates you sent with the NuTracks as you can see the NW side is further from the girders. Attachment:

Build your bridge on top of the box from the template that I sent you,
Do the left span with my tracks and the right span with the nutracs.
Use the boxes to line up both sides together.
My tracks have been thoroughly tested and are guaranteed to be correct.
Post an image that shows the assembly with the boxes.

I doing now what I tell my kids not to do .. don't eat at the computer .. that what I doing now .. so don't tell my kids.
My diner is crumbed fish, 2 fried eggs, fried tomato and onion, and some yippie beans (Baked beans).
Those templates you sent me I going to make a larger template with them all on and with the tracks I like so they ready for other bridges as well.
This way the railway lines be in right place .. so just a matter of doing the rest in the right places.
I'll use the top row of tracks without the dark grey as a template. Then can add what ever colour ballast I want.
I noticed on many pics I checked on internet .. the steel girder bridges have a wooden decking so I think I do same.
See what I can get done before my bedtime.
Cheers

Sounds like my breakfast ... Two eggs fried over and hard, sausage, hash brown potatoes, whole wheat toast with honey and peanut butter and five liters of dark roast coffee.
Indeed, the older steel girder bridges had wood plank decks for road and then for rail they simply added ties and tracks.

I see if I can do wood decking on these bridges too.
While I think of it .. Do I need to hunt for some roads too? or is that later down the track.

Why not simply use the wood decking for roads? Then for rail just overlay the tracks on top of the wood? That is what I will be doing for my early bridges.

I bit slow answering as busy chatting to fiancee  Is it possible to make separate bridges for road and rail? Can have narrow bridge for rail and make it a bit wider for road? When I finish chatting will try a bridge with wood decking full width see what like. be about another 1/2 hour or so. Cheers _________________ All my projects are GPLv2 License. Soot Happens.

I done 2 more designs with the bridges using wooden decking. Tried to colours .. a more newer wood colour and a weathered gray look. Which of the 3 think best? 1st one with rails laid on the cross beams or one of the wood decking. Attachment:

I heading to dream world in a few moments .. not sure about your country but here in Australia mornings come early I done the level bridges with the steel cross beams. Hope to do ramps tomorrow. I like the weathered timber decking too not able to make up my mind so I did the cross beams for now and can change to the timber if desired. When I do the Hexham bridge might be nice that one is done with the newer timber look .. as need a walkway for the person who operates the bridge when boats need to pass under. Cheers pal catch up with you later _________________ All my projects are GPLv2 License. Soot Happens. Projects: viewtopic.php?f=179&t=811

Cross beams for rail and timber for road are good.

I have an unreleased bridge with walkways. It looks good. _________________ Visit SimuSchool - Tutorials, Questions and AnswersTTDPatch Nightlies Downloads are backThrive

If I buy everything that will give other people chance to save some money See if can finish this bridge now .. by time you had your beauty sleep I might be finished. Do you want a set with roads too or will the wooden deck be sufficient. Since cars would drive directly on the wooden deck it probably would stay more the browny colour. What ya think? _________________ All my projects are GPLv2 License. Soot Happens. Projects: viewtopic.php?f=179&t=811
