THREE REAL BRIDGES recreated in Poly Bridge 2 by a REAL CIVIL ENGINEER! 25,000 Subscriber Special!

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

As always on these milestone videos it's time to get soppy... Thank you so much for your support, I'm do grateful for every watch, like, comment, sub, patreon, discord member, subreddit post... wow this had been a hell of a journey when you start writing it out like that, but it wouldn't be possible without all you incredible folk! As I said in this video, this is the start of a world tour, there's something quite magical about recreating real bridges in this game, give a me that sort of Lego nostalgia from when I was a kid! Anyway, you guys are great, really hope you enjoy this one! Here's to many more! Peace, Love and Bridges, RCE

@@bluewhalestudioblenderanim1132 When I just want to relax, I watch "MrAJWorks" operating heavy machinery or "post 10" unclogging drains. The key is to pick KZbin videos that don't really have a "plot" or narration that you'd have to follow otherwise.

FYI, the 'A' key allows you to see all hydraulic and spring settings at once so you can more easily adjust a large number of them.

Also, you can click 'Remove all' in the Hydraulic Controller to disable everything then re-enable the few ones you wanted to work.

The fact that 2 bridges that I used as child and still use to this day made me really happy. The Transporter bridge and it’s gondola (car carriage) are over 100 years old and still operational today. Both the Transporter and the Newport bridge, which is also in Middlesbrough, are iconic crossing of the River Tees. They were both designed with the same purpose of allowing people to cross the river whilst also allowing larger container ships to travel up the Tees. It just goes to show the ingenuity of people to create unique bridges only a few miles apart.

[@zsheincustoms]

23:40 RCE you can press the button “remove all” and then all hydraulics and split joints are removed, then you can add back the ones you need

[@DubsnSubsSessions]

Great examples of Teessides 2 most famous bridges. The detail of the smaller bridge at the end of both of them is great. The one on the transporter is where cars line up to go onto the gondola, its basically mesh and not fun to stand on. The one on Newport actually goes over a railway that runs alongside the Tees. Both were built in that fashion to allow ships with sails underneath and make it to Stockton, a few miles upstream. They were made redundant by the construction of the Tees barrage which blocks the river to all but small pleasure boats as tidal control for Stockton. Between the Tees barrage and Newport Bridge lies the 2 'Tees cuts' which were large earth works that cut out 2 meanders to make the trip from Stockton to the North Sea much faster. It was said that the journey took the same amount of time as the journey from the Tees mouth to the Thames mouth as the river was shallow and swampy before being modified. Evidence of these cuts is few and far between with only a few very old maps showing the original course. Prior to the transporter being built, people in Middlesbrough needing to work on the North Bank of the river would have to travel to Stockton to cross which is many miles longer in days where cars and public transport were minimal. Hope that essay interested someone.. Its an interesting area when you look into it including large chemical works, deep water port, a nuclear power plant and once upon a time lots of steel production.

I think it would be fun to see some failed bridges brought up, and then maybe you could explain why they failed. I get that we can't make them fail the same way, but bridge failures have always been interesting in my opinion. Unfortunately I'm a software engineer, so bridge reconstruction is a bit outside of my skillset.

Very nice build of the Transporter Bridge. I've seen it, but not gone across it (yet). "First to do what it does." "Clifton suspension bridge?" Another beautiful build. I don't think I've seen it, but of course I've seen pics. I thought it might be the other teesside bridge based on what you can do with poly bridge (the swing bridge at newcastle was a thought, but can't work in 3d in this). I have been over it many times on my way to a model shop. Maybe you could've used a spring to brake it going down, or just losing less weight?
