Hello everyone,

Im hoping someone may be able to help me as I need both info & reference pictures on the type of bridges that we still intact at the time of the Battle of France, 1940.

I had a close look at my local model shop for any kits of either pontoon or fixed bridge types but none were available.

So my next bet is to scratch build my own but for that I need some reference picts. So if anyone could direct me to them that would be great.

My next query is what is the best way to create my own bridge, as most of my dio's have been on land of hillside. What type of materials for road, railing & piers.

I will hopefully post some picts of the finished artical.

Any help would be great.
