Truss Train Bridge by Ratticus Designs
I gather 80-90’s Lego together with moc’s and Lego modulars and have a metropolis in progress.
Since I received a U form platform of tables for my metropolis and nonetheless need some descent railroad round my metropolis I did need a cross-over between the two tables with a bridge.
I did not need a common bridge of plates or technic bricks linked with pins.
No I did need a good trying and “reasonable” bridge.
Since I like metallic constructions and cranes I used to be pondering of a Truss bridge (in Dutch known as a “vakwerk brug” which implies a “bridge of workmanship”).
First I did search the web for examples of lego truss bridges however nothing got here near what I did need. Made a couple of designs, prototype concepts with my very own bricks. After a few hours I made one thing what appears to be like like the ultimate one.
Made some adjustments and after feedback that the rails aren’t locked very robust to the underside the engineer in me designed some extra locking strategies, extra backside plates, technic bricks between the layers…
6 further locking level together with the few backside plates needs to be greater than sufficient to carry the burden of a single loc with a couple of wagons.
Have enjoyable, extra designs will come over time
