Bridge Support

These are our development sketches and photographs for the Bridge Support

Bridge Support Assembly showing Fleximount, Interface Plate (available soon) and the Bridge Support ( supplied to pre-order)	Suggested Bridge Support sizes Material 12mm x 12mm x 500mm long angle. Mild Steel ,Aluminum or Stainless Steel if you can afford it. 200mm leg lengths X 100mm wide top surface. Cut notches at 45 degrees's as shown. Recommend tack welds in the corners if going into hard terrain. If we supply they will come welded, unpainted and no slots, but with clearance holes to accommodate the Interface Plates M4 studs

Interface Plate supplied c/w M4 nuts	Mount Support Assembly

Bridge Support Assembly pushed into soil	Track positioned onto the Fleximount, sleeper not drilled yet.

Bridge Support completely pushed into the ground	Ground work is raised and banked to the base of the Fleximount. 6mm galvanized mesh, and if required weed resistant cloth is placed under the mesh, this in turn is trapped between the Interface plate and the Fleximount. This leaves a good base for ballast and assists in have a raised track bed.

This arrangement is useful if the track is running beside a banked hill

Bridge Supports pushed directly into ground then ballasted	Bridge Supports holding semi-riged tubing,with Fleximounts attached to the tubing. Eventually this will all be buried because the tube cannot support the track with the train but the aim is to hold the route.
