Very nice Paul, but you are spoiling your LPB's! If you don't watch it they will be wanting to get paid next! 
How Cool!
I do believe that is the first model of a rope footbridge I've ever seen, and beautifully done too, I might add.

Excellent job, once again! I love the detail of the bridge floor being depressed under the weight of the LPB crossing it. This really make the scene look even more realistic than usual. Nice job!

excellent you never cease to amaze me and are a inspritration to all of us for sure . The detail you put into your layout shows a definate love for the hobby keep the pics coming
That's nifty! Beautifully done! Are the bridge boards Central Valley fencing or did you set them individually? The cables are so neatly done!

Shamus,
In the brief time I've known you and your work, I've come to expect "the different" from you, but this bridge caught me by surprise!
Congrats for the concept, and execution. An excellent detail addition to your lumber company.
.........Like, I'm going to let this opportunity pass by............
If you could get that LPB moving,,,,,you'd have suspended animation?

One more surprise for all of us, Paul.
As it seems, you always find something to model which is unusual and can't be seen on every second layout. (Another example are your rough log bridges like the one in the background.) But always the physics of the construction is absolutely correct. It's just awesome!
Oh well, the LPB loggers are supposed to be quite surefooted, so crossing that bridge just gives'em some additional exercise!
One question: For the ropes, did you use real thread, or are they made out of wire for stability?

Hi All and many thanks for the comments.

Ralph the boards are pieces of stripwood. laid one at a time.

Ron, the rope is wire for strength.
