Last I heard, someone said that, after finding loads of bridges missing, they'd found a bunch of them stacked one on top of another, somewhere in Canada! It's true. There's a picture of them at http://idle.thehueys.com/bridges/Mis...-2004/St_Donat If you look closely, all of those bridges are replicas of the old quebec city bridge (it is missing in Quebec). I wonder why there is more than one? henri Apparently, bridges are now part of the Autogen scenery. Maybe they decided that the Quebec bridge made a good 'generic' bridge and it was meant to be used in a selection of locations but something went wrong in the database and they've all ended up in the one place! -- regards, Mark mailto -- .- .-. -.- -.-. .... . .-. .-. -.-- {.- -}-.-. --- -- .--. ...- ... . .-. ...- . {-.. --- -} -.-. --- -- |

Cantilever bridges of that size are not very common. Until recently, the Quebec Bridge was considered one of the wonders of the World (it fell twice while it was being built). Actually I can't recall seeing any other large bridges of the kind. Henri |

The Forth Railway Bridge in Scotland is a good example. That has been there for years. Other kinds of bridge are now much more economical for large spans. Is that bridge there in FS2004? It crosses the Firth of Forth about 5 miles west of Edinburgh. There is also a newer suspension road bridge next to it and they should both be there. Try: http://www.doughoughton.com/webpage/image/66/a66530.jpg or perhaps the best http://netrover.com/~capaigle/Ponts/fortha.html -- Francis |
