Hallo modelers
I have a little scratchbuild projekt on a very low level which every modeler can do.
At one of my modules I have a river which need to be crossed. A simple 90° arrangement I didn't wont have, so I go something araound 45° but ... the proposed Atlas girder bridges will not look good:

This view would be better:

One girder of the snap bridge could be used but the opposide girder must move. To do this, the litte noses must be cut off. I used a sharp hobby knife:

So will it look after the litte work:

After this, the bridge track need to be fittet. The original track ist to short, so I use a third Kit cuz I wasn't able to get one additional bridge track from atlas.

The next step is the stringer which have to be fittet. One side is easy to do and if you saw precisely you must only add a new beam made from styrene:

The other side needs a bit more work. The extended beams are made from styrene to match the Atlas parts:

This will be happen when I watch more TV than concentrate myself on the project:

Glad to have an other kit on the shelf, so the project will be well done and I have a additional bridge for a later use.
