ECMT Bridge 2.0
I just got some new pics in of the bridge. Jim made some adjustments from the version we had at the March show. He extended the ramp by the dump-thru, added the second ramp and intersection, and of course, added the tower and cables... what a huge difference! Jim is the man!

Re: ECMT Bridge 2.0
That's awesome! I really liked the curvature of the ramps - it allowed for a more realistic experience.

Re: ECMT Bridge 2.0
That is an awesome piece of work! It looks great and will add a lot of variety to operation. Next, working traffic lights and a motorcycle cop!

Re: ECMT Bridge 2.0
Rod, yes that bridge is EXCELLENT!!! Will it be at the Indy show? Also, how is it transported? Sections I'm assuming. How big/wide are the lanes? Is this the same one you had at the previous show and modified or is it completely new?
Sorry for so many questions, I'm trying to see if we can build one for our group here in Michigan. Then how and where to store the bridge? Did Jim create this from a "plan" or free-lance it? Any guidence will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jim J |

Re: ECMT Bridge 2.0
Jim,
This is a completely new bridge. It is built in sections and assembles/disassembles a ton easier than the previous version. We haul it with the rest of our club gear in an enclosed trailer. It actually transports pretty easily. Jim totally built the bridge out of his creativity. He researched scale bridges on the web and had some ideas before he started to build. He truly is an artist!

Re: ECMT Bridge 2.0
Rod, thank you for the response. I'll do some research and see if we can do something simple for our group. Is this bridge going to be at the "Indy" show? We'll see maybe I can get to your groups' next event.
Thank you for the information, Jim J |

Re: ECMT Bridge 2.0
Wow. I never checked this section of the forum until today! I'm guessing there are a lot of other members who haven't seen this beauty. This bridge is incredible looking! Right up there with some of the best ones I've seen at German truck shows. No doubt this is an awesome addition to the club.

Re: ECMT Bridge 2.0
Nathan,
Thanks for the compliments! We are very fortunate to have the bridge! Its a HUGE upgrade from the one that I made way back when. I dug out a couple of pics from the ECLC this year, the first show w/ the finalized bridge:

Re: ECMT Bridge 2.0
Like the water tower too. Who made that, and what kind of materials were used?
