Very nice! Thumbsup

Nice! I like the idea of having a Interstate overpass on modern layouts since they look so natural. Thumbsup

Really nice job!


A tutorial on how to build the bridges is online now - berNd - 03-03-2010

I added a "How-to" to the FREMO pages: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fremo-net.eu/index.php?id=1379&L=6">http://www.fremo-net.eu/index.php?id=1379&L=6</a><!-- m -->

Those are some awesome bridges, great work!

Just what I was looking for,and I didn't even know it.That how-to page is sure going to come in handy.Excellent work.


Re: Interstate Highway Bridge - Herc Driver - 03-13-2010

Thank you very much for adding the pictures and description of the construction process - what a great tutorial!

Those bridges really turned out great. I was already thinking of adding two sets of bridges just like those (only with round bridge supports like we have around my home) to block the view from and create dividing points on the layout. Thanks to your work, I've got a better handle on where to start and how to do it.

That looks awesome. What's especially good is that you capture the massiveness of such a bridge structure with lot of empty land around it.
