Does anybody know id there are any modern style, freeware bridges? I need some for my route that can hold 4 to 5 tracks. I can't find any in the editor that will work. The selection is really crappy. Can anybody help me?
Thanks
BTW. Unless you can show me how to do it in Blender, don't tell me to do it myself!

At Google Books that are a few free engineering books on how to make bridges. They would give you a good starting point for how to make it look.

Hmm. Good idea! I just need a flat platform bridge, with no fancy construction. Maybe something for the RCAP team in the future...

Remember that some of the RCAP team are focused on preserving SMM's creations. I will take months to finish this. I respectfully submit that you should try making it yourself.

It will be hard, but I will try!

Take is slow. Make a girder bridge first. Learn the ins and outs of texturing (the most demanding part!). What program are you using?

I'm using Blender. Can't use 3Dcrafter because it is to expensive.

OK. I will help where I can, but I have no knowledge of Blender.
