Hi Ricky, There are a lot of reference pics out there for wood bridges. I did quite a few google searches to find details on how the supports and everything should be before starting the bridge in the latest dio i am working on. I would start with a google search, also trry looking at as many pics of dios with wood bridges as you can find. any questions go ahead and message me in msn. Cheers Kevin

Ricky -

Research is key. Look at model railroading books on bridges for wood bridge designs. Also, remember no one is going to cross a spidley wood bridge with 2x4 legs with a Tiger. So the size of the timber is very important.

The Walther's Train catalog is online, and has many photos of bridges.
