NittenDormer Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm planning to build a bridge of the (apologies for any incorrect terminology) lattice girder under the track variety - real-life examples being Shin Viaduct, Far North Line, or Interest, East Lothian EC main line. I'm struggling to find guides or suggestions on how to do this on Rmweb, can anyone point me towards threads with step by step 'how to's? (Or launch into one now....)

drmditch Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 You might like to look at my construction here ... On the LNER forum... There is a shorter account here on RMweb, but I can't find out how to insert a link using this tablet. Let me know if it seems useful, and I'll find you the link.

Gordon A Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 What scale and length? Gordon A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmditch Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Here is ... a better link... I work in 4mm scale using OO track. The bridge has four spans, each of which is just over 11" long and uses three girders. The technique is flexible however, and certainly low cost - even if it does take some time. I was certainly glad when I'd finished the twelve double-warren-truss girders, but still had the trough girders to make as well!
