We have 3 bridges in our layout to cross the river. On the
right hand side there are two separate bridges, one for the railway
and one for the motorway. On the left hand side we have a combined
bridge where the train and the road cross cross the river and each
other at the same time. This last situation has been taken from the
original, directly before the station of
Campocologno. The only concession we made is the tunnel at one end
of the bridge, that doesn't exist in reality.

Creating a bridge from plaster
The bridge shown here has been made from plaster. We made a
polystyrene foam mold in the existing landscape and poured the
plaster into it. This is just as real as the original, first the
landscape and then you create the bridge in it.
