I have been upgrading my 15mm scenery for WW2 NW Europe and one thing I wanted was a girder bridge – like a mini version of the Arnhem bridge. With this not being something that would be used in every game, I didn't want to spend too much on it and found some laser cut sides on Ebay for less than £2.50 GBP and made the rest from scraps of MDF and a piece of plasticard.
There is a full description with some more pictures on my blog here: link |

Nothing stopping you from doing another span? Just an idea. Great job! |

Thanks very much. JMcCarroll – that's right, with the magnet and key arrangement it would be quite easy to extend but my rivers are already quite wide and take up a lot of space on my little 6x4 table so I don't think it would work for me, except maybe for a special scenario. Part of the idea of the modular design (apart from protection against breakage) though was to be able to swap the ramps for different ones and I thought I might make a pair with the road then running on a raised bank, for example. (Can't believe on first posting, it bleeped out a common word for a raised embankment, as widely used in the Netherlands for flood defence or to raise a road above an marshy or flood-prone area, for example.) |

Very nice. Do you know what you searched for to find those girder sides? |
