These six shots are "details" of the bridge. I was able to isolate areas, and in some cases, brighten them up to make out some of the finer detail......just in case anyone else might want to model this neat bridge.
It wasn't until I was able to brighten up the last photo, that I realized that the "bowstring" was actually pin connected.
My best guess is that the timber is 2" X....... 2" X 4" decking, 2" X 6" stringers, and 2" X 8" cross members. I will use that as the basis for the rest of the structural dimensions for my project.
The angled braces in the first photo appear to be "T" section, either forged into round for the threaded lower end, or possibly the threaded part was welded. I lean towards that being forged, as this was primarily ironwork.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
