    I wanted to model a medium sixed bridge in N scale, but if you look at the market, there are no "cheap" big bridge in N scale. So I "borrowed" one from the HO scale and adapted to the new dimension. I got a double track bridge with very few modifications and the whole process was very cheap.

    I posted it on the web, so if you want to see how I did it, please go to:

    The bridge looks great but could do nothing with the web site as I don't speak or read the language.

    Giovanni:

    That's an impressive looking bridge, and a nice website. I'm really impressed (read: jealous) of how realistic a lot of that stuff looks.

    Thanks to all for the positive comments on the "little" job I've done on the layout!
    I hope I will able to translate the whole site in few weeks (actually I know something in english language, but I know I'm not the best translator you can get! My girlfriend can speak english and german... maybe I will ask her for the site!)

    The best part of the work is that it has been done on a portable layout, so I was able to show it in a commercial hall in Italy. I had some 15.000 visitors during 2 BUSY days! [​IMG] [​IMG]
