@jakimson1994 Assuming you have the Walther's kit and not trying to scratch build the bridge, the plastic portion of the bridge is easy, it's the gears and electrical switching that you must take your time on and get right.
Heel Trunion Bascul Bridge or Strauss type:) I want to write my master's thesis about movable bridges but here in Poland we have only a few exaples of such movable structures :/
These things are going for 300 plus dollars right now. I really wish Walthers would start making this model again.
