A Bespoke Over Arch Bridge Build

Cheers for your comments,well most of them! I'm looking in your direction Mr Turbutt :bigsmile:
We are aiming for an older style bridge Paul, the plan is to use angle for the diagonals to soften it a little
 
Mels your man if your looking for old style :rolf:
 
Andy has been a busy bridge builder :bigsmile:
Clamping up ready to tack together

Ah, little bridge over harbour.
 
Yes among other things... Bradfield was a man of vision..... his wooden surburban trains were a thing of great character and beauty....
 
Andy has again been busy and started fitting the cross bracing

Although it still needs tidying up it's starting to look the part now

Your tame welder is doing a great job.
How are the hack saw blades holding up or are you using a drop saw?
 
Thought this might have been finished by now Colin.:bigsmile::bigsmile:
It will look the business when done:thumbup:
 
By heck Colin, you will be able to take the weight of a humungous live steamer jobbie on that!

A nice bit of engineering
 
Dunno Col; reminds me of the fifth bridge! :thumbup::thumbup::rolf:
 
Looks fantastic in place Colin :thumbup:
