Bridge – Merivale Rail Bridge

Written by Vulcan. Posted in City Cat Ferries

The bridge crosses the Brisbane River near Milton and is dual track electrified. The main span is 133 metres long and the deck is suspended from the arches by thirty-two 94.5 mm diameter steel rope bridge cables. It was completed in 1979.

The model does not have overhead wire attached, the user will need to place catenary to suit.

The main model has four approach spans attached, and places as one object. Additional spline approach spans are also available. Set the bridge to the required height and raise the end of the approach span spline to suit.

The node points on the bridge and the approach span spline are to be connected by the user, using the same track type (no ballast) that is used on the bridge. The spline end is then moved towards the bridge to close the gap.

Bridge – Victoria Bridge

Written by Vulcan. Posted in City Cat Ferries

The Victoria bridge consists of 6 170 ft (51.8 metre) truss spans and was a road and tram bridge across the Brisbane River. The original bridge was built in 1897 and used in service until 1969.

The model places as one object, not a spline. It has attached tram track.

The third picture show the bridge with the excellent tram models by Motorman1066, the tram is a Phoenix design.

While there are attachment points for joining a road spline, the traffic will not flow in the correct directions in the lanes unless used in Trainz Classics or later version, which supports one directional lane traffic.

Bridge – William Jolly Road Bridge

The William Jolly Bridge was constructed between 1928 and 1932, the arches are concrete encased steel, with the three major spans of arched ribs rising through the deck, span length 66.4 metres.

The William Jolly Bridge is a vehicular and pedestrian bridge over the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Australia. It is a steel frame arch bridge with an unusual concrete veneer and was opened to traffic on 30 March 1932 by Sir John Goodwin, the Governor of Queensland.

When opened, during the worst year of the Great Depression, the bridge was known simply as the Grey Street Bridge. It was renamed to the William Jolly Bridge on 5 July 1955 in memory of William Jolly, the first Lord Mayor of Greater Brisbane.

The four lane roadway is partly supported by hangers from the arches which project above the deck, and cross girders and stringers below.

The model bridge has three main spans and additional approach spans, all spans place as one model.

The approach spans are of a different design from the main spans. Connected traffic will not flow in the correct lanes unless the one way lane options in are used.
