This is my first TSM project so don't expect it to be a masterpiece.

With these bridge sections, you can build a bridge as long as you want(system permitting).

To install:
1) Unzip to a temporary folder.

2) Go to the temp folder and copy all the .s and .sd files in the "Shapes" folder to the "Shapes" folder of the route you want to use them in.

3) Now copy all the .ace files in the "Textures" folder to the "Textures" folder of the same route.

4) Open the "Ref entry" text file and copy the contents to the ".ref" file of the same route.

The new shapes will be found in the "HkTSM" class.

Included in this package:

1) "Hk_2T_20m_WdBr" Double track, 20 meter (65 feet) long x 15.24 meter (50 foot) tall. This section can be used as a single bridge or the start piece of a longer bridge.

2) "Hk_2T_20m_WdBrMid" Same as above with the supports gone from one end. Add this section onto the one above to make the bridge as long as you want.

3) "Hk_2T_20m_WdBrMidOvPs" Same as the "Mid" section but designed as an overpass. Place this section over a 2-lane road or track.

4) "Hk_2T_20m_WdBr75ft" Same as number 1 above but 22.8 meters (75 foot) tall.

5) "Hk_2T_20m_WdBrMid75ft" Same as number 2 above but 75 foot tall.

6) "Hk-2T_20m_WdBr100ft" Same as number 4 above but 100 foot tall.

7) "Hk_2T_20m_WdBrMid100ft" Same as number 5 above but 100 foot tall. 

8) "Hk_ConcBase" Optional concrete base.

In order to keep the .zip file size down, TSM files are available upon request.

I did not make the textures. The "Hk_wood.ace" texture came from Ron Picardi. He got it from Paint Shop Pro and tweaked it a little. The "Hk_yellowjade.ace" and the "Hk_BridgeMold.ace" came from the "Train Sim Modeler" library.
I added the "Hk" prefix to associate these textures with my projects.

I want to thank Rich Garber, Bill Burnett and John Tackett for beta testing this bridge and offering advice. I also want to thank Pete Willard for the idea of the overpass section. 

The contents of "HkWdBrdg" can be used by MSTS route designers so long as those routes are distributed without charge.
