Loft Bridge

Hello, are there any type of loft metal bridges out there, I though they were on Golden Age site but I can only see the wooden ones there. I had them before my computer HDD crashed out.

Golden Age did have some, maybe they are not back up from his own hard drive crash.

There are some in the file library, however its in the process of being moved to the new library.

You may need to wait.

Alright I'll give it some time, right now it's just a floating track above the water. *!lol!*

I've got the same thing until I find or make a narrow concrete bridge. Do you need it lofted because it's curved?

It's a straight line so far, it's just goes over a large body of water and I don't want to place a ton of the bridges to fill it, I would rather use a loft setup.

Like this one: Image

However, during the route it will be curving later on my next bridge, just the long on is just near 1700m or so I think.

Contact Roinuj first pics or NS9030 last pic and ask them what these bridges are? They look like what you need.

Yea those pictures are the bridge I would like, I had one like that but it was a loft but I lost it when I lost my HDD. And I can't seem to find it in the library.

You can always set the first one up, then copy and paste it several times to get the length. The benefit of doing this is that it's much easier to select them than trying to select a loft which is right next to your track.

Well yea, but I've used the loft one before and it was easier when I get into the curved bridge. My bridge is well over 1250m or so. Maybe tonight I will try the truss bridge instead. I've used the loft and did an off set and just lowered it to the bottom the of track and it worked well. But I don't have that package anymore.

The screenshots are from SSM Digital's route. Not sure what bridges they are as I'm not into route building.
