Hi all;
I would like to know if there are any bridges suitable for deep gorges, like the stone pole bridges supplied with TRS2006, but a different design. Most of the bridges will just 'hang' in mid-air if the ground is too far below.
Thanks

If you do a Username Search for "Gerd" on the DLS he does some really heavy Bridge Splines suitable for crossing deep gorges but if you want them with intermediate piers I think the one you referred to is about the tallest you'll get.Its possible to make tall piers by "stacking" layers of spline such as "Stone Retaining Wall Dirty" on top of each other but extremely fiddly..:(

I faced a similar problem recently and solved it with these bridges which have quite long "legs" (the names in bold are just my own edits, but the kuids are of course what you'd look for on the DLS).
1t Canfranc truss KUID2:111814:38012:0
1t Marent Gulch 300ft KUID:79097:38000
1t Trestle 1 KUID:63290:38031
There are also some sets of tall bridge support splines which are quite good for putting under bridges where you just have the decking (eg.
1t Plate girder 03 green KUID:117608:60406). Look for this lot;
60238:38119, :38120, :38127, :38128, :38129 by Ianz Trainz (these are my favourites).46819:38104 -» :38110 and :38115 by JJS70337:27005 -» :27008 - sorry, I don't have the author's name handy.69518:37017 -» :37100 a huge set by James73 of Glasgow Trainz.I hope these help, and wish you happy bridge building.
Dean ;)

8) Using high bridges, is a trip...but some coal cars, that have animated loads, carry the load, in unloaded mode, 100 meters (328.083 feet) below the car.

Lethbridge, yes?
Also: What route is that? It looks like one of yours, but I can't tell which one it is.
