expandable bridges

[AntonyVW]

Are there any bridges in DLS that can expand not only in its length but also in its width? If not is it possible to make them or is that beyond Trainz capability to use?
Reason I ask is I'm trying to create my local line based around 1903. During that period there were many sidings many of which crossed the same bridge or curved upon it. Obviously this requires quite a wide bridge as it is all above road height. I had thought of using a tunnel for the road but the real one looks like a bridge not a tunnel.

Just search for Bridge in the track tab. There are lots, and they are Splines, like track, so they also operate like track. They justy span gaps, instead of going down a hill.

Hope this answers your question.

BTW, are you also into VW Beetles? (The "VW" in your username made me curious. If you do, you'll like my website and youtube page!)

As far as I know a spline can only expand in one direction. Length or width but not both. It might be possible to make a bridge spline that expanded width-wise but you probably couldn't run a train across it unless you added invisible track. All in all - not worth it.

the VW in my name is my middle and last initial. However funnily enough I do drive a VW - a Tauran

There are many bridge wall/fence assets on the DLS which allow you to build your own bridges. FMA Uk elevated sidewalls under kuid:149987 is one such example, search his kuid for a lot more. He has also got walls etc and all you need do then is place a ground mat or ballast only spline over the area to act as the ground ballast. I did this when I rebuilt Angelah's Bristol Temple Meads.

As far as I know there is one bridge which will expand sideways (width) it was built by Domsarto. It will only expand sideways but not lengthways it as a fixed length. Not to sure what kind it was as I had downloaded it when he first made it, ages a go, but not used it yet.
