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. 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 Just as well I read your reply before posting. I was going to mention the Forth Bridge myself. Worth pointing out that it's a *railway* bridge only hence the need for the second bridge. You can get an idea of the scale of the thing from watching Robert Powell dangling off it in the '70s remake of 'The 39 Steps'. -- regards, Mark |
